Fibre optic patch cable ELECTRALINE METZ CONNECT 151J1EOJO80E OM3 8 m SC–LC I‑V(ZN) H aqua

Single multimode fibre optic patch cable ELECTRALINE METZ CONNECT 151J1EOJO80E OM3, 8 m length, designed for indoor networks and data centre interconnects. The cable features a laser-optimized OM3 multimode core (50/125 µm) in a duplex full‑duplex configuration with an SC connector on one end and an LC connector on the other. The halogen-free, flame-retardant jacket in aqua colour provides easy identification and low smoke generation in case of fire. The zipcord (figure‑8) design with aramid strain relief and tight buffered construction ensures mechanical stability and simple handling during installation.

Advantages

The OM3 laser-optimized fibre offers improved bandwidth and supports high-speed multimode transmission for modern network applications. The I‑V(ZN) H cable construction combines a slim outer diameter with a halogen‑free, low‑smoke flame‑retardant sheath, making it suitable for indoor installations where safety and space are important. Pre‑assembled SC to LC connectors simplify deployment and reduce termination time. Each cable is 100% tested to ensure optical performance and reliability.

Suitable for

• Data centre horizontal and rack-to-rack connections
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch multimode links
• Patch panels and optical distribution frames in indoor environments
• Short-range multimode backbone and intra-building cabling

How to use

Route the patch cable between the SC-terminated and LC-terminated ports, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress. Insert the SC connector into the SC adapter or port until it clicks, and insert the LC connector into the LC adapter or port until it latches. Secure excess cable length in cable management trays or on patch panels to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on connectors. Use standard multimode cleaning procedures for connector endfaces before mating to ensure optimal signal quality.

Usage recommendations

Maintain a minimum bend radius as specified for OM3 multimode fibres and avoid kinks. Clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before each connection. Use the cable for indoor applications only and do not expose it to outdoor weathering or direct sunlight. For installations in high-density racks, plan cable routing and strain relief to avoid excessive compression or tight loops.
