The JBX93184 SC/ST Duplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents professional-grade connectivity for telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise networking environments. This 2.5-meter cable combines precision engineering with TAA compliance to meet government procurement requirements while delivering exceptional optical performance. **Superior Optical Performance** Built on 9/125 singlemode fiber architecture with G.657.A1 glass specifications, this duplex cable achieves industry-leading insertion loss measurements of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss exceeding 20dB. Performance testing adheres strictly to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, ensuring reliability across critical applications. Attenuation specifications of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm guarantee optimal signal transmission across extended network runs. **Connector Compatibility and Configuration** The SC/UPC to ST/UPC connector pairing provides flexibility for connecting diverse network equipment while maintaining Type A to B crossover polarity—the most common duplex patch cord configuration. This versatility makes the JBX93184 an ideal solution for interconnecting network devices, telecommunications equipment, and data center infrastructure. **Robust Construction and Durability** Feturing OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rated jacketing, this cable meets stringent building code requirements for vertical cable routing. The 1.8mm outside diameter minimizes space requirements in high-density installations while the vibrant orange jacket facilitates easy identification and tracing through complex cable management systems. Durable plastic construction ensures long-term performance in demanding environments. **Compliance and Quality Assurance** TAA compliance certifies this product for government and regulated procurement processes. Full RoHS/ELV directive adherence (EU 2002/95/EC) confirms environmental responsibility and hazardous substance elimination. Each unit undergoes rigorous attenuation testing and includes a 90-day limited warranty, backed by domestic inventory in Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, and Beaufort SC for rapid fulfillment. **Ideal Applications** Perfect for enterprise networks, telecom installations, campus connectivity, disaster recovery systems, and any application requiring reliable singlemode fiber transmission. Custom length availability accommodates non-standard requirements. **Value and Convenience** Qualifies for free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, reducing total cost of ownership. Available for immediate shipment from multiple domestic locations.
