The JBX88344 2.5m ST/ST Duplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents professional-grade connectivity for mission-critical fiber optic networks. Constructed with precision-engineered components, this cable combines reliability with performance for telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise networking environments. Technical Excellence: This cable features a 9/125 singlemode core optimized for long-distance signal transmission. The G.657.A1 glass fiber construction provides superior bend performance while maintaining stringent attenuation specifications: 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm. Insertion loss measures ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical), while return loss exceeds 20dB, ensuring signal integrity across enterprise networks. Compliance & Standards: TAA compliant for U.S. government procurement, RoHS/ELV certified per EU Directive 2002/95/EC. All attenuation testing adheres to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing consistency and reliability. Design Features: The ST/UPC to ST/UPC connectors utilize Type A to B crossover polarity—the industry standard for duplex patch cords. Riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing withstands demanding installation environments. At just 1.8mm outside diameter, this cable minimizes pathway congestion while the white jacket provides superior visibility for cable identification.
