METZ CONNECT OpDAT Patch Cable LC-Duplex to LC-Duplex APC OS2 Single-mode 3.0 m

The METZ CONNECT OpDAT Patch Cable is a high-performance fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable single-mode connections in data centers, telecommunications, LAN, and FTTx applications. With LC duplex connectors on both ends featuring APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish, this cable ensures low insertion loss and high return loss for optimal signal integrity.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional performance with typical insertion loss ≤0.2 dB and return loss ≥60 dB. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides enhanced safety in enclosed spaces, while the duplex zipcord construction allows for easy routing and management. The yellow jacket color ensures quick identification of single-mode cables.
