The JBX83997 5m LC/SC OM2 50/125 multimode fiber patch cable is engineered for demanding network infrastructure applications requiring reliable signal transmission over intermediate distances. This professional-grade component combines superior optical performance with practical design features that streamline installation and maintenance. **Optical Performance & Specifications** Utilizing OM2 50/125 multimode fiber technology, this cable delivers exceptional transmission characteristics. At 850nm wavelength, attenuation measures 3.5dB/km, while 1300nm operation achieves 1.0dB/km performance. The cable's insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss of ≥60dB exceed standard requirements, ensuring signal integrity across your network infrastructure. **Connector Technology** The LC/UPC to SC/UPC connector configuration provides versatile compatibility with standard network equipment. Type A to B crossover polarity represents the industry-standard duplex arrangement, making this cable immediately deployable in existing installations without requiring adapters or specialized configurations. **Durability & Reliability** Bend-insensitive fiber technology accommodates tight routing requirements without compromising performance or lifespan. The OFNP-rated jacketing provides enhanced flame resistance and mechanical protection, while the 1.8mm diameter allows flexible cable management in confined spaces. All components undergo rigorous attenuation testing per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. **Compliance & Certification** TAA compliance makes this cable eligible for government and federal procurement requirements. RoHS/ELV certification ensures environmental compliance across EU and international markets. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind for mission-critical applications. **Practical Benefits** The distinctive pink color facilitates rapid cable identification in complex network environments with multiple connections. Custom length availability accommodates non-standard requirements. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, with fulfillment from strategically located US warehouses ensures quick delivery. **Applications** Ideal for data center patch panels, network switches, telecommunications equipment, and enterprise LAN installations. Suitable for both new installations and legacy network upgrades requiring reliable OM2 multimode connectivity.
