The JBX82905 3-meter LC/ST OM1 multimode fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for network infrastructure applications. This duplex cable connects LC/UPC connectors on one end to ST/UPC connectors on the other, with Type A to B crossover polarity—the industry standard for most duplex patch cord applications. Construction and Performance: Manufactured with OM1 62.5/125 multimode fiber, this cable provides reliable signal transmission at both 850nm and 1300nm wavelengths. The bend-insensitive fiber core reduces installation stress and extends cable lifespan. The outer diameter of 1.8mm ensures compatibility with standard cable management infrastructure. Attenuation performance is specified at 850nm: 3.5dB/km and 1300nm: 1.0dB/km, with typical insertion loss of just 0.15dB (maximum 0.35dB) and return loss exceeding 60dB for superior signal integrity. Compliance and Quality: Fully TAA compliant for government and institutional procurement requirements. RoHS/ELV certified per EU directive 2002/95/EC. All cables are attenuation tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing consistent quality and performance. Bend-Insensitive Technology: The OFNP bend-insensitive jacketing allows for tighter routing and installation flexibility without compromising signal quality. This feature significantly reduces the risk of microbend losses common in standard fiber cables. Applications: Ideal for data centers, network rooms, telecommunications installations, and any environment requiring high-performance multimode fiber connectivity. The distinctive pink color aids in cable identification and organization within complex installations. Flexibility and Support: Available in custom lengths to suit specific installation requirements. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty ensuring customer satisfaction and confidence in your investment.
