Fiber patch cable ACT 10 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 duplex ST connectors

The ACT 10 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 duplex ST connectors fiber patch cable is a 10 m indoor duplex multimode fiber link designed for structured cabling and short- to medium-range data transmission. The cable uses 50/125 µm core/cladding multimode fiber with OM2 performance characteristics and duplex ST connectors that provide push-pull bayonet coupling for reliable mating. The LSZH outer jacket reduces toxic smoke and corrosive gas emission in the event of fire, making the cable suitable for enclosed public and commercial spaces where low-smoke behaviour is required.

Advantages

The cable offers consistent multimode performance for 850/1300 nm wavelength systems, enabling stable connections for legacy and modern multimode equipment. Duplex ST connectors ensure straightforward polarity management and physical robustness for repeated mating cycles. The LSZH construction enhances safety in confined environments by limiting hazardous fumes and residue during combustion. The 10 m length provides flexible routing options in server rooms, wiring closets, and between equipment racks without the need for splices.

Suitable for

• Short- to medium-distance multimode network links in data centers and server rooms
• Patch panels, switches and transceivers with ST interfaces
• Indoor installations where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required
• Educational and office environments requiring reliable duplex fiber connectivity

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm (OM2)
• Length: 10 meters
• Connector type: Duplex ST (bayonet-style)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polarity: Full duplex
• Typical wavelengths: 850 nm / 1300 nm

How to use

Measure the required routing path and verify that 10 m is sufficient for a single uninterrupted run between devices or patch panels. Avoid tight bends and protect the cable from sharp edges and crushing; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for 50/125 multimode fiber. Align the ST connectors with the equipment ports and insert with the push-and-twist action until the bayonet lock engages. Confirm link status via the connected equipment and test optical loss with appropriate fiber testers if precise attenuation measurements are required.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable coiled loosely without kinks and avoid repeated flexing near connector ends. For best optical performance, keep connectors clean and use a fiber cleaning tool before mating. In installations requiring fire-code compliance, select LSZH-specified components throughout the route.
