The JBX00065 0.5m FC/UPC Simplex OM3 Multimode Fiber Pigtail represents a cost-effective solution for professionals requiring dependable fiber optic connectivity in telecommunications networks, data centers, and enterprise environments. This carefully engineered component combines superior optical performance with robust physical construction to meet the demands of modern high-speed networks. **Key Features & Specifications:** This fiber pigtail utilizes OM3 50/125 multimode fiber technology, capable of supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission across distances suitable for intra-building and campus networks. The 0.9mm tight-buffered jacket provides excellent protection while maintaining flexibility for installation in tight spaces. The aqua color coding facilitates easy identification and organization within complex fiber infrastructure. **Optical Performance:** With a typical insertion loss of just 0.15dB and maximum of 0.35dB at the FC/UPC interface, signal integrity is preserved with minimal degradation. Return loss specifications of ≥20dB ensure minimal signal reflection, critical for maintaining network stability. The fiber exhibits 3.0dB/km attenuation at 850nm and 1.0dB/km at 1300nm, meeting or exceeding industry standards. **Standards Compliance & Quality:** Manufactured to TIA-492AAAC and ISO-11801 OM3 standards, this pigtail guarantees interoperability with compliant network infrastructure. TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance makes it suitable for government and federal projects. RoHS and ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility and workplace safety. **Applications:** Ideal for telecommunications closets, server room installations, patch panel terminations, testing equipment connections, and network upgrades. The simplex design makes it perfect for unidirectional signal transmission applications. **Custom Solutions:** While this standard 0.5m configuration serves most applications, custom lengths are available to match your specific installation requirements. Ships quickly from U.S. locations with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty for peace of mind.
