ACT 10 meters Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Polarity Twist uniboot duplex fiber patch cable with CS - LC connectors

The ACT 10 meters Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Polarity Twist uniboot duplex fiber patch cable with CS - LC connectors is a high-performance networking solution designed for efficient data transmission in modern data centers and telecommunications environments. Featuring a singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber type and a 10-meter length, this cable ensures reliable, long-distance signal integrity. It incorporates an innovative Polarity Twist uniboot design that allows polarity to be changed in just a few seconds without tools. The slim uniboot structure combines two fibers into a single thin jacket, significantly improving airflow and cabinet organization.

Advantages

This singlemode fiber patch cable offers exceptional space-saving benefits through its uniboot construction, which is up to 50% thinner than standard duplex cables. The ability to reverse polarity quickly minimizes installation time and reduces complexity during high-density deployments. Equipped with CS and UPC-polished LC connectors, the assembly is optimized for modern high-speed optics such as QSFP and OSFP transceivers. Additionally, the Low Smoke Zero Halogen cable jacket enhances safety by emitting minimal smoke and no halogens when exposed to high heat.

Suitable for

• High-density data center cabling and rack management
• Telecommunications networks requiring reliable singlemode transmission
• Connecting high-speed QSFP and OSFP transceivers using CS interfaces
• Environments where space optimization and improved airflow are critical

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be suitable for older network equipment that exclusively relies on standard wide-pitch duplex connectors rather than modern high-density interfaces like CS. It is also not designed for multimode fiber infrastructures.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 meters
• Fiber optic type: Single-mode OS2 9/125 µm
• Connector 1: CS Male with UPC polish
• Connector 2: LC Male with UPC polish
• Design: Polarity Twist uniboot duplex
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Jacket color: Yellow

How to use

Before installation, ensure that the equipment ports match the CS and LC connector types. Carefully route the 10-meter cable through cable management trays or racks, taking advantage of the slim uniboot profile to maintain optimal airflow. If polarity adjustment is required, use the Polarity Twist feature to swap the connector polarity according to network layout specifications before final insertion. Gently push the connectors straight into the respective transceiver ports until a secure click is felt.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware supports CS and LC connector interfaces
• Check the required cable length to ensure the 10-meter span is appropriate for your rack layout
• Confirm whether your installation environment mandates Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket compliance

Usage recommendations: Handle fiber optic connectors with care and avoid sharp bends to maintain signal integrity. Always use protective dust caps when connectors are uncoupled to prevent dust and contamination.
