The JBX45170 8-meter OM3 multimode fiber patch cable represents professional-grade connectivity for modern network infrastructures. This duplex cable assembly features SC/UPC connectors configured in Type A to B crossover polarity, the industry standard for patch cord applications. Key Performance Features: Built on OM3 50/125 multimode fiber, this cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to 300 meters, making it ideal for high-speed data center applications. The bend-insensitive fiber design accommodates tight routing requirements without signal degradation, while the OFNP jacketing (1.8mm OD) ensures flame resistance and durability in plenum-rated environments. Technical Specifications: Insertion loss measures ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical), ensuring minimal signal attenuation. Return loss exceeds 60dB for superior signal integrity. Attenuation rates of 3.5 dB/km at 850nm and 1.0 dB/km at 1300nm meet rigorous industry standards tested per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001. Compliance & Reliability: TAA-compliant for government and institutional purchases, with RoHS/ELV certification ensuring environmental standards compliance. The 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in product quality. Applications: Ideal for server-to-switch connectivity, storage area network (SAN) installations, campus backbone connections, and high-speed data transfer requiring multimode fiber technology. The 8-meter length accommodates medium-distance interconnects typical in enterprise data centers. Customization Available: Require a different length? Custom cable configurations are available to meet specific installation requirements, making this cable adaptable to virtually any network design.
