METZ CONNECT OpDAT Patch Cable LC-D/LC-D OM3 7.0 m Aqua

The METZ CONNECT OpDAT patch cable is a high-performance fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in demanding network environments. With LC-Duplex connectors on both ends and OM3 multimode fiber, this cable supports high-speed applications up to 40/100 GbE over distances up to 100 meters. The 7.0-meter length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or patch panel connections.

Advantages

This cable offers low insertion loss (≤0.3 dB) and high return loss (≥30 dB), ensuring excellent signal integrity. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket material enhances safety by reducing toxic fumes in case of fire. The aqua jacket color allows for easy identification of OM3 fiber.
