The JBX93153 2m SC/SC duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for professional-grade optical network installations. Manufactured with precision-engineered 9/125 singlemode fiber, this cable is specifically designed for long-distance, high-bandwidth telecommunications applications where signal integrity is paramount. Key Technical Features: This fiber patch cable utilizes G.657.A1 glass fiber technology, offering superior bend radius performance compared to standard G.652.D fiber. The 9/125 core-to-cladding ratio ensures minimal signal loss over extended distances, with attenuation rates of just 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm. With an insertion loss of ≤0.35dB and return loss exceeding 20dB, this cable meets or exceeds ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Construction & Durability: The 1.8mm outside diameter cable features riser-rated OFNR jacketing, making it suitable for in-building fiber runs without conduit. This construction ensures fire safety compliance while maintaining flexibility for tight routing. The plastic 5mm accessory dimensions facilitate easy installation in standard cable trays and pathways. Compliance & Security: Fully TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant and RoHS/ELV certified under EU Directive 2002/95/EC, this cable meets rigorous government and enterprise procurement requirements. This certification is essential for federal agencies, defense contractors, and secure facility deployments. Connectivity & Compatibility: Features SC/UPC connectors with Type A to B crossover polarity—the industry standard for duplex patch cords. This configuration ensures seamless integration with existing network infrastructure. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications networks, data centers, fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) installations, and enterprise backbone connections. The cable's low-loss characteristics make it suitable for both short-distance high-speed connections and longer spans requiring minimal signal degradation. Customization & Support: Available in custom lengths beyond the standard 2m offering. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and shipped from multiple US locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99.
