METZ CONNECT OpDAT Patch Cable SC-D APC/SC-D APC OS2 1m

The METZ CONNECT OpDAT patch cable is a high-performance fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable single-mode connections in data centers, telecommunications, and enterprise networks. With SC-D APC connectors on both ends and OS2 fiber, it ensures low insertion loss and high return loss for critical applications.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional signal integrity with a maximum insertion loss of 0.25 dB and a minimum return loss of 60 dB, thanks to the APC 8° polish. The duplex 2-fiber design supports bidirectional communication, while the LSZH jacket provides safety in enclosed spaces. Its 2.8 mm diameter and flexible bend radius (14 mm operation) make it easy to route in tight spaces.
