METZ CONNECT OpDAT patchkabel SC-duplex/SC-duplex OM5, 3,0 m

The METZ CONNECT OpDAT Patch Cable is a high-performance fiber optic patch cable designed for demanding data center and enterprise network applications. Featuring SC-Duplex connectors on both ends and OM5 multimode fiber, this 3.0-meter cable supports high-speed transmission for 100GBASE-SR10, 400GBASE-SR8, and SWDM4 applications. The lime green LSZH jacket ensures safety and easy identification.

Advantages

Optimized for short-wave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) and high-bandwidth applications, this cable delivers low insertion loss (≤0.25 dB) and high return loss (≥30 dB). The OM5 fiber provides extended reach for 40G and 100G Ethernet, while the duplex design supports bidirectional communication.
