Patch Cable Metz OpDAT SC-S/SC-S OS2, single-mode fiber, 3 m

Metz OpDAT SC-S/SC-S OS2 patch cable, 3 m, is a single-mode fiber jumper designed for optical network interconnections where SC-S connectors and OS2 fiber performance are required. This cable provides a reliable link between patch panels, transceivers and active equipment ports in environments such as data centers, telecommunications backbones and FTTH installations. The 3 m length offers a balance between reach and manageability for rack and cabinet routing.

Advantages

The single-mode OS2 fiber ensures low attenuation and high bandwidth over long distances, suitable for core and distribution links. Precision-polished SC-S connectors deliver stable mating performance and repeatable optical return loss. The 3 m jacketed assembly facilitates neat routing in racks and enclosures while minimizing excess slack. Constructed for compatibility with standard SC ports, this patch cable supports straightforward installation and predictable optical performance.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting patch panels and optical distribution frames
• Connecting transceivers and switches in data centers
• Telecom backbone and metropolitan area links
• FTTH drop and customer premises equipment where SC connectors are used

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode OS2
• Connector type: SC-S to SC-S (both ends)
• Length: 3 meters
• Jacket: factory-assembled jacket suitable for indoor routing
• Polish/type: precision polished connectors for low insertion loss

How to use

Route the Metz OpDAT SC-S/SC-S OS2 cable through the cable management channels or along rack pathways to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain. Insert SC connectors into the corresponding SC ports until they click into place, ensuring connector endfaces are clean before mating to prevent contamination and signal loss. For removal, depress the SC connector latch and pull straight out. When longer runs are used, secure the cable to prevent movement and maintain bend radius recommendations for single-mode fiber.

Usage recommendations

Inspect and, if necessary, clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before every connection. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid tensile stress on the cable. Store unused connectors with protective caps to preserve endface quality and ensure consistent optical performance.
