METZ CONNECT OpDAT patch kabel SC duplex/SC duplex OS2 0,5 m

The METZ CONNECT OpDAT patch cable is a high-quality fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable single-mode connections in data centers, telecommunications, and enterprise networks. With SC duplex connectors on both ends and OS2 single-mode fiber, it ensures low insertion loss and high return loss for optimal signal integrity over short distances.

Advantages

This cable offers excellent performance with low insertion loss (≤0.3 dB) and high return loss (≥45 dB), ensuring minimal signal degradation. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides enhanced safety in enclosed spaces by reducing toxic fumes and smoke in case of fire. The duplex zipcord construction allows easy handling and installation, while the yellow jacket color enables quick identification as a single-mode cable.
