METZ CONNECT OpDAT Fiber Optic Patch Cable LC-UPC to LC-UPC OS2 Single-mode Duplex 3.0 m White

The METZ CONNECT OpDAT Fiber Optic Patch Cable is a high-performance single-mode duplex patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in fiber optic networks. With LC-UPC connectors on both ends and OS2 fiber type, this cable ensures low insertion loss and high return loss, making it ideal for demanding telecommunications and data center applications. The 3.0-meter length provides flexibility in connecting patch panels, switches, and other network equipment.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional signal integrity with typical insertion loss ≤0.3 dB and return loss ≥50 dB. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures safety in enclosed spaces, reducing toxic fumes in case of fire. The duplex zipcord construction allows easy handling and installation, while the zirconia ceramic ferrules provide durability and precise alignment.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms
• Telecommunications networks
• Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) installations
• Local area networks (LAN) requiring single-mode fiber
• High-speed data transmission up to 10 Gbps and beyond
