The JBX90187 SC/ST Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents premium connectivity for telecommunications, data center, and network infrastructure applications. This 5-meter duplex cable combines reliability with ease-of-identification through its distinctive pink outer jacket. **Superior Technical Performance:** Constructed with G.657.A1 grade glass fiber and a precision 9/125 micron core, this singlemode cable achieves exceptional performance metrics. Insertion loss is rated at just 0.15dB typical (maximum 0.35dB), while return loss exceeds 20dB—ensuring minimal signal degradation over distance. Testing complies with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards for attenuation at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. **Compliance and Durability:** TAA compliant for government procurement and RoHS/ELV certified per EU Directive 2002/95/EC, this cable meets strict environmental and procurement requirements. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacket provides fire resistance for building installations while the 1.8mm diameter fits standard conduit systems. **Practical Design Benefits:** The Type A to B crossover polarity configuration is industry-standard for duplex patch cord applications. The eye-catching pink color facilitates quick identification and organized cable management in crowded server racks and network closets. Custom lengths are available for specialized installations. **Supported Use Cases:** Ideal for fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP), campus networks, data center interconnects, and telecommunications infrastructure. Perfect for environments requiring singlemode performance with superior bend characteristics (G.657.A1). **Warranty and Support:** Includes 90-day limited warranty.
