Fibre optic cable Triton METZ CONNECT 151P3JOJO50E, 5 m, LC–LC, G.657.A2, 9 µm, I‑V(ZN) H, yellow

Single-mode fibre optic cable Triton METZ CONNECT 151P3JOJO50E, 5 m, with LC to LC connectors is a full-duplex patch cord designed for high-density data links, InfiniBand and fibre connections in telecom and datacentre environments. The cable uses a bend-insensitive G.657.A2 single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core, a 2.0 mm outer diameter and a yellow low-smoke zero-halogen flame-retardant jacket (LSZH). All assemblies are 100% tested for insertion loss and return loss to ensure consistent optical performance.

Advantages

The cable offers bend-insensitive performance compliant with IEC 60793-2-50 (types B6_a and B6_b) and G.657.A2, providing reliable signal transmission in constrained routing conditions. Its LSZH halogen-free jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire and the 2.0 mm compact diameter supports high-density routing and space-efficient cabling. Factory testing for insertion and return loss ensures predictable connectivity and compatibility with standard LC interfaces.

Suitable for

• Datacentre patch panels and horizontal cabling
• InfiniBand and high-speed server connections
• Telecommunications equipment and optical networking racks
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling

How to use

Uncoil the 5 m LC–LC patch cord without applying sharp bends near the connectors. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC duplex adapter or transceiver port until it clicks. Ensure connectors and ports are clean before mating to maintain low insertion loss; use appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable following bend radius recommendations and avoid tight loops or sharp edges to preserve the bend-insensitive fibre properties.

Usage recommendations

Inspect and clean connectors before each installation, keep the cable protected from mechanical strain, and observe minimum bend radius guidelines. Use in patch panels, trunking or cable management systems to minimize stress on connector terminations and maintain optimal optical performance.
