The JBX83397 5m LC/SC OM2 50/125 multimode fiber patch cable represents premium-quality networking infrastructure for organizations requiring reliable, high-performance fiber optic connectivity. This professional-grade cable is manufactured to exacting standards and tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 specifications, ensuring consistent performance across diverse networking applications. Key Technical Specifications: This duplex fiber patch cable features two 50/125 micron multimode fiber strands terminated with LC/UPC and SC/UPC connectors in a Type A to B crossover configuration—the industry standard for most duplex patch cord applications. The cable demonstrates exceptional low insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and superior return loss of ≥60dB, minimizing signal reflection and ensuring data integrity. Attenuation characteristics are optimized for both primary wavelengths: 3.5 dB/km at 850 nm and 1.0 dB/km at 1300 nm. Construction and Materials: The cable features innovative bend-insensitive fiber technology combined with OFNP jacketing, delivering superior durability without compromising flexibility. The 1.8mm outside diameter provides easy routing through cable trays and conduits, while the plastic accessory construction ensures lightweight installation. This design accommodates the frequent reconfiguration demands of modern data centers and network environments. Compliance and Certification: TAA-compliant and RoHS/ELV certified per EU Directive 2002/95/EC, this cable meets rigorous government procurement standards. Available from multiple US distribution centers (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, and Beaufort SC), it qualifies for expedited deployment. Applications: Ideal for data center interconnects, network switch connections, telecommunications infrastructure, enterprise networking, and telecommunications backbone installations. The OM2 multimode specification supports high-speed data transmission over moderate distances, making it perfect for in-building and campus area networks. Customization and Support: Custom lengths are available for specialized installations. Each cable includes a 90-day limited warranty, and free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99. This combination of performance, compliance, and value makes the JBX83397 an excellent choice for network professionals seeking dependable fiber connectivity solutions.
