The JBX92184 SC/ST Duplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents the gold standard in optical connectivity solutions for demanding telecommunications and networking applications. This 2.5-meter cable is engineered with precision components and rigorous quality control to ensure peak performance in mission-critical installations. **Technical Specifications & Performance:** Constructed with G.657.A1 singlemode glass fiber featuring a 9/125 micrometer core, this cable delivers industry-leading attenuation rates of just 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm or 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm. The duplex configuration provides simultaneous bidirectional communication through two independent fiber strands. Measured insertion loss is exceptionally low at ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB), while return loss exceeds 20dB—specifications that exceed most installation requirements. **Connector Configuration:** Featuring SC/UPC to ST/UPC connectors with Type A to B crossover polarity, this cable is configured for immediate deployment in standard duplex patch applications. The UPC (Ultra-Physical Contact) polish ensures optimal optical performance and minimal reflectance. **Build Quality & Compliance:** The riser-rated (OFNR) PVC jacket provides fire safety certification suitable for in-building use, while the slim 1.8mm diameter accommodates dense cable management scenarios. Manufactured with materials meeting RoHS/ELV directives and fully TAA compliant for government and institutional procurement programs. **Applications:** Ideal for data center interconnects, telecommunications facilities, FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) backbone connections, campus network links, and any environment requiring reliable singlemode fiber optics. The 2.5-meter length suits both short patch runs and intermediate distribution applications. **Shipping & Support:** Ships from strategically located U.S. warehouses (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) with complimentary standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Custom lengths available to accommodate specific installation requirements. All products backed by comprehensive 90-day limited warranty and tested per ANSI/TIA standards. All products backed by comprehensive 90-day limited warranty and tested per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards for quality assurance.
