METZ CONNECT OpDAT Patch Cable LC Duplex to LC Duplex OM3 2.5 m Aqua

The METZ CONNECT OpDAT Patch Cable LC-D/LC-D OM3 is a high-performance fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in demanding network environments. With a length of 2.5 meters, this duplex cable features LC connectors on both ends and is built with OM3 multimode fiber, making it ideal for 10, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The aqua-colored LSZH jacket ensures safety and easy identification.

Advantages

This patch cable offers low insertion loss (max. 0.3 dB) and high return loss (min. 30 dB), ensuring excellent signal integrity. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic fumes in case of fire, making it suitable for use in confined spaces. The duplex zipcord construction provides flexibility and durability for frequent patching.
