METZ CONNECT OpDAT Patch Cable SC-D/LC-D OM5 10.0 m

The METZ CONNECT OpDAT patch cable is a high-performance fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in demanding network environments. With SC/UPC to LC/UPC duplex connectors and OM5 multimode fiber, this 10-meter cable supports high-speed applications up to 40 Gbps and beyond, making it ideal for data centers, LAN, SAN, and enterprise networks.

Advantages

This patch cable offers low insertion loss (<0.3 dB typical) and high return loss (>30 dB typical), ensuring excellent signal integrity. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides enhanced safety in case of fire, reducing toxic smoke and corrosive gases. The lime green jacket color allows for easy identification of OM5 fiber infrastructure.
