OpDAT duplex Patch cords - METZ Connect

Features And Benefits

 • Patch cords with all variants of connector types LC, SC and ST.
 • Fiber types: OM2, OM3, OM4, OS2. All fibers are bend insensitive.
 • Cable types:
    - Duplex patch cords („figure 8“) with two tight buffers and Aramid as strain relief
    - Duplex connection cable („figure 0“) with two tight buffers in an additional outer jacket and Aramid as strain relief
    - Simplex patch cords (only for SM) with one tight buffer and Aramid as strain relief
 • Duplex patch cords are logically crossed as a standard (A->B, B->A), logically uncrossed patch cords available on request.
 • SC and LC connectors of duplex patch cords are always connected by duplex clips, ST are supplied without clips.
 • Available in lengths between 0.5 to 20 m. The use of duplex connection cables is recommended for lengths of more than 20 m because of the higher mechanical strength.
 • Low smoke, halogen free, flame retardant cable jacket (LSHF-FR)
 • Single mode patch cords are tested by 100 % on insertion loss and return loss at 1310 and 1550 nm. An interferometer measurement is done in addition.
 • Multi mode patch cords are tested by 100 % on insertion loss at 850 and 1300 nm.
 • The measurement is followed by a final visual control of the connectors according to IEC 61300-3-35.
 • All patch cords are provided with a serial number and a barcode. This allows traceability and measured values can be made available at any time.
