Fibre optic cable ELECTRALINE METZ CONNECT 151J1EOEO10E OM3 1 m 2x SC–2x SC Aqua

Patch cable ELECTRALINE METZ CONNECT 151J1EOEO10E OM3 1 m 2x SC–2x SC Aqua is a 1 metre multimode fibre optic link designed for short-range, high-bandwidth installations. The cable uses 50 µm multimode OM3 cores and is finished in aqua colour for easy identification in structured cabling systems. With SC connectors on both ends (two SC connectors per end), this patch cord provides a stable duplex connection for multimode networking equipment and optical transceivers.

Advantages

The OM3 multimode construction supports enhanced bandwidth for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed applications over short distances, while the 50 µm core diameter ensures compatibility with standard multimode transceivers. The pre-assembled SC–SC terminations reduce installation time and minimize connector loss compared with field-terminated solutions. Aqua jacket colouring and standardized connector types make cable management and identification straightforward in data centres and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching and rack-to-rack fibre connections
• Multimode Ethernet links such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances
• Optical patch panels and structured cabling backbones
• Connections between multimode transceivers and network switches

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode, 50 µm core
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type (each end): 2 x SC duplex-style connectors
• Polishing/termination: factory-terminated SC connectors for low insertion loss
• Jacket colour: aqua for OM3 multimode identification

How to use

Route the fibre patch cable through cable management pathways to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress. Insert the SC connectors firmly into the corresponding SC ports on networking equipment or patch panels until the latch clicks. Ensure both ends are connected to matching multimode ports and that cable length is adequate for rack layout to prevent tension. If a link test is required, perform insertion loss and continuity checks with appropriate fibre test equipment before placing the cable into production.

Usage recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector boots and avoid bending below the specified minimum bend radius. Keep connector end faces clean and protected with dust caps until connection; clean with approved fibre cleaning tools when contamination is suspected. Use OM3-rated patching practices for short-range high-speed links and follow equipment vendor guidance for multimode transceiver compatibility.
