The JBX93182 SC/ST Duplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents professional-grade connectivity engineered for demanding network environments. This 1.5-meter cable delivers exceptional optical performance with insertion loss specifications of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss exceeding 20dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation across your infrastructure. Built on G.657.A1 singlemode fiber technology, this cable operates efficiently across standard telecom wavelengths with attenuation of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm. The duplex configuration with SC/UPC to ST/UPC connectors and Type A to B crossover polarity enables full-duplex bidirectional communication, making it ideal for backbone connections and inter-equipment linking. The cable features an orange, OFNR-rated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket with a compact 1.8mm outside diameter, facilitating installation in cable trays, conduits, and confined spaces. The riser rating ensures compliance with fire safety codes in vertical runs between building floors. TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant and RoHS/ELV certified, this cable meets stringent government procurement requirements. It ships from multiple U.S. locations—Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, and Beaufort SC—ensuring rapid delivery with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Ideal applications include data center interconnects, telecommunications networks, test and measurement setups, and enterprise-grade LAN upgrades. The cable undergoes rigorous attenuation testing per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards. Custom lengths are available to suit specific installation requirements. Each unit includes a 90-day limited warranty. This cable represents an investment in reliable, standards-compliant network infrastructure for mission-critical environments.
