The JBX00018 SC/UPC OM5 Simplex Fiber Pigtail represents a premium solution for fiber optic network installations requiring reliable, high-speed signal transmission. This 1-meter pigtail leverages OM5 Wideband Multimode Fiber (WBMMF) technology, the latest generation in multimode fiber standards designed to maximize bandwidth and support next-generation data rates. **Technical Excellence:** Constructed with OM5 50/125 multimode fiber, this pigtail delivers superior optical performance specifications. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (with typical performance of just 0.15dB) ensures minimal signal degradation, while the return loss of ≥20dB provides excellent signal reflection protection. Attenuation rates of 3.0 dB/km at 850nm and 1.0 dB/km at 1300nm make this pigtail ideal for both short and medium-distance applications. **Design Features:** The 0.9mm tight-buffered jacket with lime green coloring provides exceptional durability and visibility in crowded patch panel environments. This specific color coding aids in network management and reduces installation errors. The simplex configuration features an unterminated SC/UPC connector on one end, allowing professionals to splice directly to panel-mounted equipment or custom terminate as needed. **Compliance & Reliability:** Fully compliant with TIA-492AAAE and ISO-11801 OM5 standards, this pigtail meets the stringent requirements of modern data centers and telecommunications infrastructure. TAA compliance ensures it meets U.S. federal procurement standards, while RoHS/ELV certification (EU directive 2002/95/EC) demonstrates commitment to environmental responsibility. **Applications:** Ideal for data center interconnects, high-speed LAN environments, broadcast facilities, and telecommunications installations. The OM5 specification supports 100G and 400G Ethernet applications, making it future-proof for emerging network demands. **Custom Solutions:** This product is available in custom lengths, allowing you to order the exact specification needed for your installation without excess cable or splice points. Fast shipping from multiple U.S. locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) ensures quick project deployment. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. **Warranty & Support:** Backed by a comprehensive 90-day limited warranty, providing peace of mind in critical network installations.
