METZ BTR 151J1JOAO20E OpDAT patchkabel OM3 LC-duplex naar 2x ST multimode 2m aqua I-V(ZN)H 50/125

Connect fibre optic equipment in data centres and enterprise networks with this METZ OpDAT patch cable. It links a device with an LC duplex port to two separate ST ports, making it useful for legacy fibre panels or media converters. The aqua jacket and OM3 fibre support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM3, 50/125 µm core/cladding
• Connectors: LC duplex to 2x ST simplex
• Length: 2 m
• Jacket: Aqua, halogen-free I-V(ZN)H
• Insertion loss: < 0.3 dB
• Return loss: > 20 dB
• Bandwidth: 1500 MHz·km @ 850 nm, 500 MHz·km @ 1300 nm
• Operating temperature: -20 °C to +70 °C

Why choose it

The OM3 fibre supports high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gbps, and the halogen-free jacket reduces toxic smoke in case of fire. The LC duplex to dual ST configuration bridges modern and legacy equipment without adapters.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting switches with LC SFP modules to older patch panels with ST ports
• Data centre cross-connects where ST termination is still present
• Short-distance backbone links in enterprise buildings

Good to know

The cable is indoor-rated and compliant with IEC 60794-2 and TIA/EIA-568-C.3. Polarity is A-B (crossed) for proper transmit/receive alignment.
