METZ CONNECT OpDAT Patchkabel LC-D/LC-D OM3 0,5 m

The METZ CONNECT OpDAT Patch Cable LC-D/LC-D OM3 is a high-performance fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in demanding network environments. With LC duplex connectors on both ends and OM3 multimode fiber, this cable supports high-speed applications up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 300 meters, and 40/100 Gbps up to 100 meters. Ideal for data centers, LANs, and SANs, it ensures low insertion loss and high return loss for optimal signal integrity.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional bandwidth and low latency, making it suitable for high-density cabling installations. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety by reducing toxic emissions in case of fire. The aqua-colored jacket provides easy identification for OM3 fiber. With a compact 2.8 mm diameter, it facilitates easy routing and management in patch panels and equipment.
