Metz Connect OpDAT Fiber Optic Patch Cable SC Duplex to SC Duplex OM5 10 m

The Metz Connect OpDAT fiber optic patch cable is a high-performance multimode duplex patch cord designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling networks. Featuring OM5 wideband multimode fiber (50/125 µm) and SC duplex connectors on both ends, this 10-meter cable supports high-bandwidth applications over short to medium distances. The lime green LSZH jacket ensures safety and easy identification, making it ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications environments.

Advantages

OM5 fiber provides enhanced bandwidth for shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), enabling higher data rates over existing multimode infrastructure. The low insertion loss (<0.3 dB typical) and high return loss (>30 dB typical) ensure excellent signal integrity. LSZH jacket reduces toxic fumes in case of fire, complying with safety regulations.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects
• Enterprise local area networks (LANs)
• Telecommunications rooms
• High-speed storage area networks (SANs)
• Fiber-to-the-desk (FTTD) applications
