The JBX91208 85-meter SC/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for telecommunications professionals, data center operators, and network integrators. This cable combines advanced optical performance with government-compliant certification, making it suitable for federal projects and critical infrastructure deployments. Optical Performance & Specifications: Constructed with a 9/125 singlemode fiber core and G.657.A1 glass composition, this cable is engineered for minimal signal degradation over extended distances. The insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) ensures signal integrity, while return loss of ≥20dB minimizes reflective interference. These specifications comply with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards, guaranteeing consistent performance at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths—the standard telecommunications bands. Connector Configuration: The SC/UPC to ST/UPC connector pairing with Type A to B crossover polarity enables straightforward duplex communication. SC connectors offer robust push-coupled connectivity, while ST connectors provide bayonet-style reliability. This combination is ideal for interconnecting diverse networking equipment and telecommunications systems. Compliance & Durability: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance ensures this cable meets federal procurement standards, essential for government contracts and public sector installations. The riser-rated (OFNR) green jacket provides flame resistance for vertical building runs, while RoHS/ELV compliance reflects environmental standards. The 1.8mm outside diameter optimizes space efficiency in cable trays and conduit systems. Applications & Benefits: • Long-distance backbone connections in enterprise networks • Data center fiber optic infrastructure • Telecommunications facility installations • Federal and government-compliant projects • Campus and wide-area network (WAN) implementations Practical Advantages: At 85 meters, this cable length eliminates multiple splices for substantial runs, reducing insertion loss accumulation and maintenance points. Custom lengths are available for specific installation requirements. Free standard shipping on orders over $99 provides cost-effective procurement for bulk installations. Warranty & Support: Backed by a comprehensive 90-day limited warranty, this cable offers peace of mind for critical installations. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) for expedited delivery to your project site.
