Patch Cable Metz OpDAT SC-S/SC-S OS2 1 m — single-mode fiber

Metz OpDAT SC-S/SC-S OS2 1 m is a single-mode fiber patch cable designed for reliable optical network interconnections. The cable has SC duplex-style connectors on both ends and uses OS2 single-mode fiber, offering compatibility with standard SC ports in telecom, data center and enterprise environments. With a 1 meter length it is intended for short-distance links such as connections between patch panels, switches and transceivers where single-mode performance and low insertion loss are required.

Advantages

This single-mode patch cable delivers stable optical performance with low attenuation and consistent connector alignment thanks to polished SC connectors. The use of OS2 fiber ensures low loss over longer single-mode links compared with multimode alternatives, and the compact 1 m length reduces excess cable slack in dense rack and patch panel installations. The standardized SC connector interface provides broad compatibility with network equipment and simplifies deployment and replacement.

Suitable for

• Connecting SC ports on patch panels and fiber distribution frames
• Linking transceivers and switch SFP/SFP+ modules requiring single-mode
• Short-run backbone or horizontal fiber runs inside cabinets and server rooms
• Optical test set-ups and temporary field connections where a 1 m lead is sufficient

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2
• Connector type: SC to SC (both ends SC)
• Length: 1 m
• Cable configuration: duplex/SC duplex-style
• Typical applications: telecom, data center, enterprise networks

How to use

Insert each SC connector into the corresponding SC port until it clicks to ensure proper seating. Use the 1 m patch cable to connect devices such as patch panel ports, optical transceivers or switch fiber interfaces. Avoid excessive bending near the connector and follow standard fiber handling practices to prevent contamination: keep connector endfaces covered when not in use and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before insertion.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, inspect and clean SC connector endfaces before mating, route the cable with gentle curves respecting the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for single-mode fiber, and avoid tight bends or mechanical strain. Use dust caps when the cable is idle and verify link performance with appropriate optical test equipment after installation.
