Fiber Patch Cable ACT 0.5m LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Duplex LC

The ACT 0.5m LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Duplex LC fiber patch cable is a short-length, full-duplex optical connection designed for high-speed singlemode networks. It uses LC connectors on both ends and a 9 µm core diameter fiber complying with OS2 singlemode performance. The cable jacket is made from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material to reduce smoke and hazardous gas emission in case of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations and confined spaces.

Advantages

This LC duplex fiber patch cable offers low attenuation and stable transmission for singlemode links, ensuring consistent signal quality over short interconnect distances. The compact LC connectors enable high-density port deployment in patch panels and active equipment. The LSZH jacket increases safety in areas where smoke and toxic fumes must be minimized, while the short 0.5 m length reduces excess cable clutter and helps maintain tidy rack and cabinet layouts.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections between transceivers and switches or patch panels in data centers
• High-density fiber cabinets and telecommunication racks
• Indoor installations in office, server room, and telecom closets where low smoke is required
• Singlemode OS2 networks requiring duplex LC terminations

How to use

Connect one LC connector to the transmit/receive port of the network device and the matching LC connector to the corresponding port on the patch panel or transceiver. Ensure the connectors are clean before mating to minimize insertion loss; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools and inspect connectors visually if necessary. Route the 0.5 m cable without sharp bends and avoid kinking; maintain the manufacturer-recommended bend radius. For duplex links, verify correct polarity between the paired connectors to ensure proper transmit and receive alignment.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment, keep dust caps on unused connectors, and perform connector inspection and cleaning during installation. Use this short LSZH duplex LC patch cable for neat, high-density indoor connections where low smoke emission is a requirement.
