The JBX89088 85-meter LC/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for demanding network infrastructure applications. This cable is specifically engineered to meet the stringent requirements of telecommunications, data center, and enterprise network environments where signal integrity and performance are paramount. Key Technical Features: This fiber patch cable utilizes a 9/125 singlemode core with G.657.A1 glass fiber construction, meeting industry standards for single-mode optical transmission. The LC/UPC to ST/UPC connector configuration with Type A to B crossover polarity ensures compatibility with standard duplex fiber systems. With an outer diameter of just 1.8mm, the cable offers flexibility without compromising durability. Optical Performance: Tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA standards, this cable achieves exceptional optical specifications: insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss ≥20dB. Attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm ensure minimal signal degradation over the cable length, making it ideal for long-distance optical transmission. Compliance & Safety: The JBX89088 is fully TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for government and regulated industry procurement. RoHS/ELV certification (EU Directive 2002/95/EC) ensures environmental compliance, while OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser Rated) jacketing provides fire safety for building installations. Value & Convenience: Offered with free standard shipping on orders over $99, this cable ships from multiple US locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) for rapid delivery. Custom length configurations are available upon request, providing flexibility for unique installation requirements. The 90-day limited warranty demonstrates manufacturer confidence in product reliability. Applications: Perfect for fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) installations, telecommunications networks, data center connectivity, and enterprise backbone systems requiring high-speed, long-distance optical signal transmission. The purple jacket aids in visual identification within complex network installations.
