The JBX83874 2.5m LC/SC OM2 50/125 multimode fiber patch cable represents a reliable, cost-effective solution for connecting optical network equipment in enterprise, educational, and industrial settings. As a TAA-compliant product manufactured across multiple facilities (Taiwan, US, and China), it meets rigorous compliance standards including RoHS/ELV directives and EU 2002/95/EC requirements, making it suitable for government and regulated procurement environments. Key Technical Specifications: This duplex patch cable features OM2 50/125 multimode fiber with bend-insensitive core technology, reducing stress on fiber strands during installation and maintenance. The LC/UPC to SC/UPC connectors employ Type A to B crossover polarity, the industry standard for most duplex applications. Performance metrics include insertion loss of 0.15dB typical (≤0.35dB maximum) and return loss exceeding 60dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation across transmission wavelengths. Optimal Performance Range: Designed for 850nm and 1300nm wavelengths, with attenuation rates of 3.5dB/km at 850nm and 1.0dB/km at 1300nm. All cables are rigorously attenuation-tested per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards before shipment. Physical Characteristics: The compact 1.8mm outer diameter allows for dense cable management in patch panels and server racks. OFNP-rated bend-insensitive jacketing provides durability without compromising flexibility, essential for installations with space constraints. The orange jacket facilitates easy identification in multi-cable environments. Applications & Use Cases: Perfect for data center interconnections, LAN/WAN installations, telecommunications facilities, and network upgrades. The 2.5m length accommodates most standard rack-to-switch distances while minimizing excess cable. Customization & Support: Custom length options are available for non-standard installations. The 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in product quality.
