The JBX45331 50m OM3 SC/SC Multimode Fiber Patch Cable represents professional-grade connectivity for modern network infrastructure. This TAA-compliant solution is engineered to meet stringent government and enterprise procurement standards, making it ideal for federal contracts and regulated environments. Key Performance Features: This OM3 multimode cable delivers exceptional performance across standard operating wavelengths. At 850nm, it maintains 3.5dB/km attenuation, while at 1300nm it achieves just 1.0dB/km, ensuring efficient long-distance signal transmission. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss of ≥60dB demonstrate superior connector quality and fiber alignment. Constructive Design: The cable features bend-insensitive fiber technology wrapped in OFNP jacketing, reducing installation strain and extending cable lifespan. The 1.8mm outer diameter provides flexibility for tight routing while maintaining durability. Duplex construction with SC/UPC connectors in Type A to B crossover polarity accommodates standard network patch configurations without requiring special adapters. Applications & Use Cases: Ideally suited for data center backbone connections, campus networks, and high-speed LAN infrastructure supporting up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to 300 meters. The 50-meter length provides optimal flexibility for medium-distance connections in server rooms, network closets, and inter-building connectivity. Compliance & Reliability: Fully RoHS/ELV compliant and manufactured to exacting standards, this cable includes comprehensive testing per ANSI/TIA/EIA specifications. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind, while the option for custom lengths accommodates specialized deployment requirements. The distinctive pink color aids in network organization and troubleshooting, improving overall infrastructure management.
