METZ CONNECT 151J1EOJO30E InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m SC LC I-V(ZN) H Aqua colour

METZ CONNECT 151J1EOJO30E InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a 3 m full-duplex multimode patch cord with SC to LC connectors and OM3 fibre. The cable uses a laser-optimized, bending-resistant G50/125 µm multimode core and a halogen-free, flame-retardant sheath. Constructed as a zipcord (figure-8) with two tight-buffered cables and aramid strain relief, this aqua-coloured cord is intended for reliable short-distance data transmission in structured cabling and high-speed network applications.

Advantages

The cable offers OM3 multimode performance optimized for laser sources, ensuring stable transmission for InfiniBand and other high-speed links. Its bending-resistant fiber and robust tight-buffered construction reduce the risk of attenuation from routing and handling. The halogen-free, low-smoke flame-retardant sheath improves safety in enclosed environments while the zipcord design with aramid reinforcement provides mechanical protection and simplified installation. Connectors are factory-assembled and 100% tested to ensure consistent optical performance.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand and high-speed multimode network interconnects
• Data centre patching, server-to-switch links and equipment connections
• Structured cabling runs within racks and between cabinets up to 20 m
• Applications requiring halogen-free, low-smoke cabling in indoor environments

How to use

Inspect connectors and fibre ends for contamination before installation and clean if necessary. Route the zipcord carefully to avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the OM3 fibre and secure the cable using appropriate cable management accessories. Plug the SC connector into the SC adapter or device port and the LC connector into the corresponding LC port or adapter, ensuring proper alignment. Verify optical link status and measure insertion loss or light levels if required to confirm correct performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid tight bends and excessive tensile loads during installation; maintain bend radii recommended for OM3 multimode fibre and use strain-relief points. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use and perform end-face inspection and cleaning routines to ensure reliable optical contacts.
