The JBX83187 5-meter LC/ST OM2 50/125 multimode fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for professional-grade network infrastructure. Engineered to exacting standards, this cable combines reliable performance with practical design features that network administrators and installers demand. **Technical Excellence** This duplex patch cable features LC/UPC to ST/UPC connectors configured in Type A to B crossover arrangement—the industry-standard configuration for multimode applications. The OM2 50/125 multimode fiber core supports bandwidth-intensive applications while maintaining optimal signal integrity. Testing conducted per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards confirms insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss exceeding 60dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation. **Durability and Reliability** The 1.8mm diameter cable features bend-insensitive OFNP jacketing that withstands the demands of active network environments. Bend-insensitive fiber technology allows tighter routing without compromising performance, reducing installation space requirements. The red jacket facilitates rapid cable identification and management in complex multi-cable installations. **Compliance and Certification** Fully TAA compliant for U.S. government procurement, this cable also meets RoHS and ELV directives (EU 2002/95/EC), ensuring environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance for both domestic and international deployments. The 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in product quality and manufacturer support. **Performance Specifications** - Attenuation: 850nm (3.5 dB/km) | 1300nm (1.0 dB/km) - Return Loss: ≥60dB - Insertion Loss: ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) - Bend Radius: Optimized for minimal signal loss - Wavelength Support: 850nm and 1300nm (multimode standard) **Ideal Applications** Perfect for data center patch panel connections, campus network backbone installations, telecommunications facilities, and enterprise LAN environments requiring reliable multimode connectivity.
