The JBX45173 12-meter OM3 SC/SC fiber patch cable represents the pinnacle of multimode fiber connectivity solutions for modern data transmission infrastructure. Engineered with OM3 50/125 fiber core specifications, this cable delivers optimized performance for high-speed network applications operating at 850nm and 1300nm wavelengths. **Superior Performance Specifications** This patch cable achieves exceptional technical performance with insertion loss rated at ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss exceeding 60dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation over its 12-meter length. The attenuation characteristics are precisely calibrated at 850nm (3.5 dB/km) and 1300nm (1.0 dB/km), meeting ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards for verified optical performance. **Advanced Fiber Technology** The bend-insensitive fiber construction significantly improves installation resilience, allowing the cable to withstand typical deployment stresses without compromising signal quality. The OFNP-rated jacket provides enhanced flame resistance and durability, making it suitable for plenum environments and demanding installation scenarios. **Compliance & Reliability** As a TAA-compliant product, this cable meets government procurement requirements and is manufactured to EU RoHS/ELV directives (2002/95/EC), ensuring environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance. The duplex SC/UPC connectors feature Type A to B crossover polarity configuration, the industry standard for multimode patch cords. **Practical Benefits** With a slim 1.8mm outside diameter, this cable navigates through cable trays, conduits, and equipment racks with minimal friction and spatial requirements. The distinctive green jacket enhances cable identification and organization within complex network environments. The cable ships from multiple U.S. locations (California, Texas, and South Carolina) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. **Ideal Applications** Perfect for connecting fiber-enabled network switches, routers, and optical transceivers in enterprise data centers, telecommunication facilities, university networks, and corporate backbone infrastructure. The 12-meter length accommodates medium-distance interconnections between network equipment in standard server room configurations. **Warranty & Support** Backed by a comprehensive 90-day limited warranty, ensuring peace of mind for your network infrastructure investment. Custom lengths are available for specialized deployment requirements.
