The JBX45290 OM3 SC/SC multimode fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for organizations requiring dependable high-speed fiber connectivity. Manufactured to exacting standards and available from multiple U.S. distribution centers, this 8-meter cable meets stringent TAA compliance requirements, making it ideal for government and public sector projects. Key Technical Features: Constructed with OM3 50/125 multimode fiber, this cable supports modern data transmission at elevated speeds while maintaining cost-effectiveness compared to single-mode alternatives. The bend-insensitive fiber technology significantly reduces signal loss in installations requiring routing through conduit or around equipment. Operating at both 850nm (3.5 dB/km) and 1300nm (1.0 dB/km) wavelengths, the cable accommodates various network protocols and equipment configurations. Performance Specifications: Tested to ANSI/TIA/EIA standards, the cable achieves insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss exceeding 60dB. These measurements ensure minimal signal degradation over the 8-meter run, critical for maintaining network reliability and data integrity. Construction & Durability: The orange OFNP-rated jacketing provides flame resistance and environmental protection suitable for plenum and non-plenum installations. SC/UPC connectors feature Type A to B crossover polarity, the standard configuration for duplex patch cords. The compact 1.8mm diameter facilitates dense cable management without compromising performance. Compliance & Support: TAA compliant for government procurement, RoHS-certified, and backed by a 90-day limited warranty. Available in custom lengths for specialized installations. Free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99. Ideal Applications: Data center infrastructure upgrades, telecommunications equipment interconnection, campus network installations, and any deployment requiring high-performance multimode connectivity with government compliance mandates.
