METZ CONNECT OpDAT Patch Cable SC-D APC to LC-D APC OS2 Duplex 50 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 networks. This duplex cable features SC-D APC to LC-D APC connectors with a polished APC end face for low insertion loss and high return loss, ensuring optimal signal integrity. With a length of 50 meters and a yellow LSZH jacket, it is ideal for structured cabling environments where safety and performance are paramount.

Advantages

Low insertion loss (≤0.3 dB) and high return loss (≥60 dB) ensure excellent signal quality. The LSZH jacket provides safety in confined spaces by emitting low smoke and no halogen in case of fire. The duplex configuration supports bidirectional communication, and the 9/125 µm core/cladding diameter is standard for OS2 single-mode fibers.

Suitable for

• Data centers requiring high-density, high-performance cabling
• Telecommunications networks
• Local Area Networks (LAN)
• FTTx (Fiber to the x) installations
