The JBX83097 5-meter OM2 SC/SC multimode fiber patch cable represents a dependable solution for enterprise and data center networking environments. Built with premium OM2 50/125 multimode fiber, this cable delivers consistent performance for medium-distance interconnections typical in campus networks and large facility installations. Technical Excellence: This duplex patch cable features bend-insensitive fiber technology housed in an OFNP (Outdoor Fiber Non-conductive Plenum) jacket, ensuring reliable performance even in tight routing scenarios. The SC/UPC connectors are precision-polished to deliver low insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and excellent return loss of ≥60dB, minimizing signal degradation and reflection. Attenuation specifications of 3.5 dB/km at 850nm or 1.0 dB/km at 1300nm comply with stringent industry standards. Practical Design Features: The distinctive yellow jacket provides instant visual identification in complex cable management environments, reducing troubleshooting time and preventing incorrect connections. The slim 1.8mm outside diameter facilitates easier cable routing and reduces clutter in cable trays and conduits. Type A to B crossover polarity accommodates the most common duplex patch cord applications. Compliance and Reliability: Fully TAA compliant and manufactured in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A specifications, this cable meets government procurement requirements. RoHS/ELV certification ensures environmental responsibility without compromising performance. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind for your network infrastructure investment. Applications: Ideal for connecting network switches, routers, servers, and patch panels in data centers, network closets, and telecommunications facilities. The 5-meter length offers flexibility for medium-distance connections while remaining manageable for installation and maintenance.
