Patch cable Metz OpDAT SC-S/SC-S OS2 2 m — singlemode fiber patchcord

Metz OpDAT SC-S/SC-S OS2 singlemode fiber patchcord, 2 m, provides a compact and low-loss connection for fiber-optic networks. Designed for use in data centers, telecom equipment and professional installations, this patch cable uses OS2 singlemode fiber and SC-S connectors at both ends to support long-distance transmission and reliable intra-rack or patch-panel routing. Its 2 m length suits patching between adjacent panels or short cross-connects while maintaining stable singlemode performance.

Advantages

The Metz OpDAT SC-S/SC-S OS2 patchcord offers low attenuation and consistent insertion loss due to high-quality OS2 singlemode fiber and precisely aligned SC-S connectors. The duplex-compatible SC-S terminations ensure secure mating with standard SC adapters and panels, while the 2 m cable length reduces excess slack in dense racks. The cable construction supports standard fiber handling and routing practices, contributing to predictable optical performance and reduced maintenance time.

Suitable for

• Data center patch panels and intra-rack connections
• Telecom equipment and backbone fiber links requiring singlemode OS2
• Optical cross-connects and short-distance distribution links
• Laboratory setups and test benches for singlemode transmission

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC-S to SC-S (both ends)
• Fiber type: OS2 singlemode
• Length: 2 m
• Application: singlemode transmission, long-distance capable
• Typical use: patching between panels, rack-to-rack short links

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and clean if necessary using appropriate fiber-cleaning tools to avoid elevated insertion loss. Route the 2 m patchcord along existing cable management paths, avoiding tight bends; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for singlemode fiber to preserve optical integrity. Insert SC-S connectors into compatible SC adapters or equipment ports until they click into place, ensuring correct polarity and duplex orientation where required. For removal, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid stressing the fiber.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the patchcord in a dust-free environment. Use dust caps on unused connectors and avoid repeated mating cycles beyond manufacturer guidance to prolong connector life. For installations requiring lower loss or specialized performance, verify link budget and connector cleanliness prior to commissioning.
