The JBX93030 0.5m LC/SC Duplex 9/125 Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents the ideal solution for telecommunications professionals, data center operators, and network installers requiring reliable, high-performance optical connectivity. Key Technical Specifications: This singlemode patch cable combines LC and SC connectors in a Type A to B crossover configuration, the most common duplex arrangement for patch cord applications. The 9/125 core/cladding ratio ensures optimal signal integrity across enterprise networks. Engineered with G.657.A1 glass fiber, this cable supports both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, providing exceptional versatility for various optical network protocols. Performance Metrics: With insertion loss of ≤0.35dB and typical performance of 0.15dB, signal degradation is minimized even in extended installations. Return loss exceeding 20dB ensures excellent signal quality and minimal reflections. Attenuation specifications of 0.25dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35dB/km at 1550nm comply with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Physical Characteristics: The compact 1.8mm diameter makes this cable ideal for high-density environments where space is at a premium. OFNR riser-rated jacketing provides flame resistance and safety compliance for indoor installations. The distinctive orange coloring facilitates quick identification in complex cable management scenarios. Compliance & Quality Assurance: Fully TAA compliant and RoHS/ELV certified per EU Directive 2002/95/EC, this cable meets government procurement standards. Manufactured in Taiwan, the USA, or China with rigorous quality control. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, providing peace of mind for critical installations. Applications: Perfect for telecommunications networks, fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) installations, data center interconnects, and high-speed LAN environments. The 0.5m length accommodates patch panel interconnections and equipment-to-switch connections. Availability: Ship from multiple US locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) ensures rapid delivery. Custom lengths available for specialized requirements. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99.
