Patch cable Metz OpDAT SC-S/SC-S OS2, singlemode fiber, 5 m

Metz OpDAT SC-S/SC-S OS2 singlemode patch cable, 5 m, is designed to provide reliable low-loss optical connections in telecommunications, data centres and enterprise networks. The cable features SC-S to SC-S connectors and OS2 grade singlemode fiber for stable transmission over long distances and high-bandwidth links. Its 5 m length fits typical rack-to-rack and equipment-to-panel routing, supporting point-to-point links and interconnections in optical distribution frames and patch panels.

Advantages

The cable offers OS2 singlemode performance with low attenuation and consistent insertion loss, enabling clear signals for long-haul and metro connections. SC-S connectors ensure straightforward push-pull mating and stable mechanical coupling. A 5 m length balances flexibility and tidy cable management in racks and cabinets while maintaining signal integrity for high-bandwidth applications.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting patch panels and switches in data centres
• Point-to-point links in telecom and metro networks
• Optical distribution frames and equipment cabinets
• High-bandwidth singlemode transmission and long-distance links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OS2 singlemode fiber
• Connector types: SC-S to SC-S
• Length: 5 m
• Application: point-to-point optical connections and patching
• Typical use environment: telecom rooms, data centres, network cabinets

How to use

Route the patch cable along the planned cable trays or within the rack, avoiding tight bends and mechanical strain on the connectors. Insert the SC-S connectors into the corresponding SC sockets until they click into place, ensuring proper alignment and secure mating. For removal, depress the connector latch and gently withdraw to avoid stress on the fiber. Use appropriate dust caps when connectors are not in use to protect end faces from contamination.

Usage recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector boots rather than the fiber itself, maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for singlemode fiber, and keep connector end faces clean using approved fiber cleaning tools to ensure low insertion loss and reliable long-term performance.
