METZ CONNECT OpDAT Patch Cable LC-DLC-D OM3 12.0 m Multimode Fiber 12 m

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 10 Gbps and beyond over distances up to 12 meters. The aqua-colored LSZH jacket ensures safety and easy identification, making it ideal for data centers, LAN, SAN, and telecommunications.

Advantages

This patch cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss, ensuring signal integrity and minimal data errors. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic fumes in case of fire, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces. The duplex design with two fibers supports bidirectional communication, and the 50/125 µm core/cladding is optimized for OM3 performance.

Suitable for

• Data centers requiring high-speed fiber connections
• Local Area Networks (LAN) with fiber backbone
• Storage Area Networks (SAN) for high-throughput
• Telecommunications infrastructure
