Fiber Patch Cable Duplex ACT 1.5m LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1 ST

This Fiber Patch Cable Duplex ACT 1.5m LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1 ST is a 1.5 meter multimode optical patch lead designed for reliable short-distance data links. The cable uses 62.5/125 µm OM1 multimode fiber and ST bayonet-style connectors on both ends arranged for duplex operation, enabling simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The outer jacket is LSZH (low smoke zero halogen), reducing toxic and corrosive gas emissions in the event of fire and making the cable suitable for indoor installations where safety requirements are important.

Advantages

The duplex configuration with ST connectors simplifies point-to-point connections between switches, hubs or transceivers while minimizing insertion and return loss when used within its specified multimode range. OM1 62.5/125 fiber provides compatibility with legacy multimode equipment and short-reach multimode transceivers. The LSZH jacket offers improved safety in enclosed spaces by emitting less smoke and no halogenated gases under thermal stress. The 1.5 m length offers a balance between flexibility and neat cable management in racks and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Short-distance multimode links in data centers and server rooms
• Patch panels, switch-to-switch and switch-to-transceiver connections
• Indoor wiring where low-smoke, zero-halogen materials are required
• Legacy multimode networks and educational or laboratory test setups

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 62.5/125 µm (OM1)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connector type: ST connector × 2, duplex configuration
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polishing/termination: factory-terminated with standard multimode ferrules
• Channel: Duplex (separate transmit and receive fibers)

How to use

Verify that connected equipment supports OM1 multimode fiber with ST interfaces or use appropriate adapter panels. Route the 1.5 m cable between the two ST ports required for transmit and receive, ensuring the duplex pair orientation matches the equipment ports. Avoid tight bends and protect the fiber from compression or kinking; maintain bend radii in accordance with standard fiber handling practices. Use cable management accessories to secure the cable in racks or patch panels and inspect connector endfaces before mating to prevent contamination and signal loss.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, keep connectors clean using approved fiber cleaning tools, avoid exceeding recommended bend radius, and use the cable for short-reach multimode links. Choose OM1 multimode for compatibility with existing legacy equipment or educational setups; for longer reach or higher bandwidth needs consider higher-grade multimode or singlemode options.
