The JBX88348 is a premium singlemode fiber patch cable designed for mission-critical network applications where signal quality and reliability are paramount. With a 6-meter length and ST/ST duplex configuration, this cable provides the perfect balance of reach and flexibility for interconnecting fiber-optic network equipment in data centers, telecommunications facilities, and enterprise network infrastructure. Optical Performance: This cable features a 9/125 micron singlemode core with G.657.A1 glass fiber composition, delivering exceptional optical characteristics. The measured insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) ensures minimal signal degradation, while the return loss specification of ≥20dB maintains signal integrity across your network. Performance is verified in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing consistent quality across manufacturing batches. Connectivity & Configuration: Equipped with ST/UPC connectors in a Type A to B crossover configuration, this duplex patch cable enables bidirectional communication between network nodes. The duplex design (two fibers) makes it ideal for applications requiring simultaneous transmission and reception. Compliance & Safety: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant for government and public sector procurement. RoHS and ELV directive compliance ensure environmental responsibility. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rating provides safety compliance for installation in building risers and vertical cable runs. Physical Specifications: The cable features a compact 1.8mm outside diameter with white plastic jacket for easy identification in complex cable management scenarios. Its lightweight construction (5.0" x 0.2" dimensions) fits standard cable routing and management systems. Warranty & Support: Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Available in custom lengths for specialized installation requirements. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (California, Texas, South Carolina) for rapid delivery. Applications: Perfect for metro area networks (MANs), wide area network (WAN) connections, campus backbone infrastructure, and telecommunications equipment interconnection. The singlemode specification makes it suitable for longer-distance runs where multimode cables would introduce signal loss. Note: Custom lengths available upon request.
