Fiber patch cable duplex SC ST connectors ACT 1 meter

The ACT Fiber patch cable duplex SC ST connectors 1 meter is a multimode 50/125 OM2 fiber jumper designed for indoor network connections. The cable uses SC and ST terminations in a duplex configuration to provide bidirectional optical links over short to medium distances. The jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), reducing toxic and corrosive gas emissions in case of fire and making the cable suitable for installations in public buildings and confined indoor spaces.

Advantages

This 1 meter multimode fiber patch cable combines SC and ST connector types in a duplex format to enable reliable mating with compatible ports and patch panels. The OM2 50/125 core/cladding geometry supports high-speed data transmission for local area network equipment while minimizing insertion loss and back reflection when properly installed. The LSZH jacket improves safety in indoor environments and the cable's construction offers flexibility for routing in racks and conduits.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode links between switches, patch panels and media converters
• Data center or telecom equipment patching where SC and ST ports are present
• Indoor installations in offices, schools, hospitals and public buildings where low-smoke materials are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 OM2
• Connector A: SC (push-pull square flange)
• Connector B: ST (bayonet/round ferrule)
• Configuration: Duplex
• Length: 1 meter
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or debris before insertion. Align the SC connector with the corresponding receptacle and push until it latches, and align the ST connector with the bayonet fitting and twist to lock. Use the duplex pair to maintain correct transmit/receive orientation; check link indicators on connected equipment to verify signal. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid compressing the jacket to preserve optical performance. When disconnecting, release the SC latch before pulling and twist-unlock the ST connector.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep connector endfaces clean using appropriate fiber cleaning tools, avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius, and store spare patch cords in protective reels or pouches. Match OM2 multimode cabling with compatible transceivers and equipment rated for 50/125 fiber to ensure expected link budgets.
