The JBX67973 12m LC/LC OM4 Duplex Multimode Fiber Patch Cable represents enterprise-grade connectivity for modern data center and network infrastructure applications. Designed specifically for 100GB Ethernet applications, this cable delivers the optical performance required for mission-critical network environments. Key Technical Features: This duplex patch cable utilizes 50/125 multimode fiber with bend-insensitive technology, allowing installation flexibility without compromising signal integrity. The OM4 fiber specification supports data rates up to 100 Gbps over distances up to 150 meters at 850nm wavelength, making it ideal for short-reach high-speed interconnects. Measured attenuation of 3.5 dB/km at 850nm and 1.0 dB/km at 1300nm ensures minimal signal loss across bandwidth ranges. Performance Standards: The cable meets rigorous testing standards including ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 for attenuation verification. With typical insertion loss of 0.15dB and maximum of 0.35dB, plus return loss of ≥20dB, this cable exceeds performance requirements for high-speed applications. LC/UPC connectors provide superior return loss characteristics compared to standard LC connectors. Compliance & Reliability: TAA compliant certification ensures eligibility for government and regulated procurement requirements. RoHS/ELV compliance (EU Directive 2002/95/EC) meets environmental standards for corporate sustainability initiatives. The riser-rated OFNR jacketing is fire-resistant and suitable for plenum and non-plenum installations. A 90-day limited warranty provides protection against manufacturing defects. Practical Applications: Ideal for data center fiber distribution, server-to-switch connections, storage area networks (SANs), and backbone connectivity. The 12-meter length accommodates medium-distance runs while maintaining signal quality. Custom length options available for specialized installation requirements. Ships from multiple US locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. The combination of superior optical performance, regulatory compliance, and robust construction makes this fiber patch cable an excellent choice for organizations prioritizing network reliability and future-proof infrastructure investments.
