Patch cable Metz OpDAT SC-D to SC-D OM5, single-mode length 1 m

Metz OpDAT SC-D to SC-D OM5 patch cable, 1 m, is a factory-terminated multimode fiber patch lead designed for high-density duplex connections in data centers, telecommunications rooms and enterprise LANs. The cable uses OM5 multimode fiber and standardized SC-D duplex terminations to support rapid, reliable interconnection between equipment, patch panels and horizontal cabling. Its 1 metre length makes it suitable for short-distance patching and trunking inside racks and distribution frames where precise, compact routing is required.

Advantages

The Metz OpDAT OM5 patch cable provides consistent optical performance and low insertion loss through factory-polished connectors and quality-controlled assembly. SC-D duplex terminations offer space-efficient duplex connections compatible with common multimode interfaces. The 1 m length reduces excess cable slack in dense racks, improving airflow and cable management while maintaining signal integrity for short multimode links.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting equipment and patch panels in data centers
• High-density multimode cabling in telecommunications rooms
• Enterprise LAN horizontal connections between switches and panels
• Short-distance trunking and rack-to-rack patching

How to use

Route the 1 m Metz OpDAT OM5 patch cable between the SC-D ports of the equipment or patch panels to be connected, ensuring proper alignment of the duplex connectors and avoiding sharp bends. Insert connectors fully until they latch; confirm link status on connected devices. For best performance, keep connector end-faces clean and protected when not in use and follow standard multimode fiber handling practices during installation.

Usage recommendations

Inspect and clean connector end-faces before connecting; maintain minimum bend radius and avoid strain on the cable. Use appropriate cable management accessories to prevent excess slack and to preserve optical performance in high-density environments.
