The JBX45163 OM3 SC/SC multimode fiber patch cable represents a premium connectivity solution for modern data center, campus network, and enterprise infrastructure applications. Manufactured to exacting standards and available from multiple U.S. and international facilities, this 2-meter duplex cable delivers consistent, reliable performance for mission-critical fiber optic installations. Technical Performance & Specifications: This cable features OM3 50/125 multimode fiber with bend-insensitive design, allowing installation in tight spaces and around corners without performance loss. The SC/UPC connectors provide Type A to B crossover polarity—the industry standard for duplex patch cords. Exceptional optical performance includes insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss exceeding 60dB, ensuring minimal signal reflection and maximum transmission efficiency. Attenuation ratings of 3.5 dB/km at 850nm and 1.0 dB/km at 1300nm support both legacy systems and modern high-speed networks. Compliance & Certification: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, this cable qualifies for government contracts and procurement processes. RoHS/ELV certified under EU Directive 2002/95/EC, ensuring environmental responsibility. OFNP jacketing provides fire-rated protection for indoor installations. All specifications conform to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards, guaranteeing compatibility with industry-standard testing protocols. Design & Installation: The slim 1.8mm diameter jacketing enables efficient cable routing and management while maintaining durability. Available in green for easy identification within cable bundles. Bend-insensitive fiber technology allows deployment in constrained spaces without risk of performance degradation. Custom lengths are available for specialized installations beyond the standard 2-meter configuration. Applications & Use Cases: Ideal for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, data center backbone connections, campus network expansions, and any high-bandwidth fiber optic transmission requiring reliable duplex communication. Perfect for organizations requiring TAA compliance or government-grade certification. Warranty & Support: 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, with availability from regional distribution centers in California, Texas, and South Carolina for rapid deployment.
