Fibre optic cable METZ CONNECT 151P7EAJO05E SC LC G.657.A2 0.5 m White

The METZ CONNECT 151P7EAJO05E is a 0.5 m fibre optic patch cable designed for short-run connections in telecom and data applications. It pairs an SC connector on one end with an LC connector on the other and uses G.657.A2 single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core diameter. The cable type is specified as I-V(ZN) H and the jacket is white, offering a discreet appearance for installations in racks, patch panels, or equipment cabinets.

Advantages

The cable provides low-loss single-mode transmission using G.657.A2 fibre, suitable for modern fibre networks that require bend-insensitive characteristics. The SC and LC connectors offer compatibility with common network ports and patch panels. Its short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cabling in dense installations and reduces connection clutter. The white jacket aids visual organization and labeling in mixed-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting equipment within server racks and patch panels
• Short-distance links between optical transceivers and distribution panels
• FTTX or access network cabling where bend-insensitive single-mode fibre is required
• Laboratory or test setups needing a reliable SC-to-LC jumper

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Cable type: I-V(ZN) H
• Fibre type: G.657.A2 single-mode, 9 µm core
• Connector A: SC
• Connector B: LC
• Colour: White

How to use

Prepare the connection points by ensuring transceivers or patch panel ports are free of dust and power is removed from active equipment where applicable. Align the SC connector with the SC adapter or port and insert until it clicks; align the LC connector with the LC port and insert gently until seated. Verify link status on the associated network equipment and, if necessary, use an optical power meter or visual fault locator to confirm signal integrity. Handle the fibre by the connectors and avoid bending the cable beyond recommended minimum bend radii for G.657.A2 fibre.

Recommendations

Store and route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain. Clean connector end faces before insertion and use protective dust caps when connectors are not in use. For permanent installations, document port locations and test results to ensure traceability.
