The JBX82541 LC/ST OM1 multimode fiber patch cable represents an essential connectivity solution for data centers, telecommunications facilities, and enterprise networks requiring reliable optical signal transmission. This 1-meter duplex patch cord features precision-engineered LC/UPC and ST/UPC connectors with Type A to B crossover configuration, the industry-standard polarity for seamless integration into existing infrastructure. Key Performance Features: This OM1 62.5/125 multimode cable delivers exceptional performance with attenuation rates of 3.5 dB/km at 850 nm or 1.0 dB/km at 1300 nm. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) ensures minimal power loss over the transmission path, while the return loss of ≥60dB provides superior signal integrity. All measurements are conducted in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards, guaranteeing professional-grade reliability. Construction and Durability: The cable features innovative bend-insensitive fiber technology within an OFNP (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Plenum) rated jacket, allowing for tighter bend radius installations without performance degradation. The 1.8mm outside diameter fits standard cable management systems while maintaining flexibility during installation. This construction makes it ideal for dense rack environments and complex routing scenarios. Compliance and Certifications: As a TAA-compliant product meeting EU directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS), this cable satisfies government procurement requirements and environmental standards. RoHS/ELV compliance ensures hazardous substance-free manufacturing. Customization and Availability: While this 1-meter configuration is readily available, custom lengths can be manufactured to meet specific installation requirements. Ships from multiple US locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) for rapid delivery, with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Applications: Perfect for equipment interconnections, network backbone connections, and fiber-to-the-desktop installations. The distinctive purple jacket facilitates quick visual identification in multi-cable environments, reducing installation errors and maintenance time.
