The JBX83280 8-meter OM2 LC/SC multimode fiber patch cable represents a robust solution for connecting network equipment in data centers, telecommunications facilities, and enterprise environments. This duplex cable accommodates the demanding requirements of modern network infrastructure with proven reliability and performance. **Key Features:** This patch cable utilizes OM2 50/125 multimode fiber, optimized for distances up to 2 kilometers at 850nm wavelengths. The LC/UPC to SC/UPC connector configuration provides low-loss connections with return loss specifications of ≥60dB, ensuring signal integrity. Bend-insensitive fiber technology allows installation in constrained environments without compromising performance. The OFNP-rated PVC jacket provides fire resistance suitable for plenum installations when required. **Performance Specifications:** Manufactured to rigorous ANSI/TIA/EIA standards, this cable delivers insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and attenuation rates of 3.5 dB/km at 850nm or 1.0 dB/km at 1300nm. These specifications ensure minimal signal degradation across longer runs. **Compliance & Certification:** TAA compliant for government purchasing, RoHS/ELV certified, and EU directive 2002/95/EC compliant. This makes it ideal for organizations with stringent procurement requirements. **Applications:** Perfect for backbone connections, equipment interconnects, and network upgrades in educational institutions, healthcare facilities, financial centers, and government agencies. The 8-meter length provides flexibility for most standard patch panel configurations. **Quality Assurance:** Each cable undergoes attenuation testing to ensure consistent performance. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind, while free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 delivers value. Custom lengths are available for specialized applications. **Installation Advantages:** The 1.8mm diameter supports easy routing through cable trays and conduits. Blue jacket color aids rapid identification during maintenance and troubleshooting. Type A to B crossover polarity is configured as standard, eliminating cross-connect confusion.
