METZ CONNECT OpDAT Patch Cable OM3 SC-Duplex/SC-Duplex Multimode 3m Aqua LSZH I-V(ZN)H 50/125

The METZ CONNECT OpDAT patch cable is a high-performance fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in indoor networks. With OM3 multimode fiber, SC duplex connectors on both ends, and a length of 3 meters, this cable supports high-speed applications up to 10 Gbps and beyond. The aqua-colored LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures safety and easy identification, while the I-V(ZN)H construction provides durability and flexibility for structured cabling environments.

Advantages

Optimized for 10 GbE and high-bandwidth applications, this patch cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss for superior signal integrity. The LSZH jacket minimizes toxic fumes in case of fire, making it ideal for use in public and commercial buildings. The duplex SC connectors are easy to install and provide secure connections.
