The JBX83193 LC/ST OM2 50/125 multimode fiber patch cable is an essential component for modern network infrastructure, offering reliable performance and compliance with government procurement standards. This 12-meter cable is specifically engineered for seamless integration into data centers, telecommunications facilities, and enterprise networks requiring dependable fiber optic connectivity. Key Technical Specifications: The cable features a 50/125 micron core diameter optimized for multimode transmission, supporting data rates up to 10 Gbps over extended distances. With an attenuation of 3.5 dB/km at 850nm and 1.0 dB/km at 1300nm, the cable meets demanding performance requirements while minimizing signal degradation. The measured insertion loss of ≤0.35dB ensures minimal power loss during signal transmission, with typical performance at just 0.15dB. Return loss specifications of ≥60dB provide superior signal quality and reduced reflection interference. Durable Construction: The cable's 1.8mm outside diameter and bend-insensitive OFNP jacketing provide exceptional flexibility and durability for routing through cable trays, conduits, and tight installation spaces. The duplex configuration with two fiber strands allows simultaneous bidirectional transmission, while the LC/UPC to ST/UPC connectors with Type A to B crossover polarity represent the industry-standard configuration for duplex patch cords. Compliance and Quality Assurance: Full TAA compliance ensures this cable meets U.S. federal procurement requirements, including RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC certifications. All performance metrics are tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA standards, with a 90-day limited warranty backing your investment. The cable is available in custom lengths to suit specific installation requirements. Applications: Ideal for connecting network switches, routers, and optical equipment in enterprise environments, data centers, and telecommunications infrastructure. The distinct red coloring aids in network management and cable identification. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 provides excellent value for bulk installations.
