Fiber patch cable duplex ACT 5 meter LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1

The ACT Fiber patch cable duplex 5 meter LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1 with SC connectors is a factory-terminated optical link for short-distance multimode networks. Designed for full-duplex operation, the cable supports bidirectional data transmission between network devices and active equipment. Its LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket reduces toxic fumes and dense smoke in case of fire, making it suitable for installations where safety and low smoke emissions are required.

Advantages

This multimode fiber cable provides consistent signal integrity for 62.5/125 µm OM1 multimode systems and includes industry-standard SC connectors for reliable mating and low insertion loss. The duplex construction enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels over a compact assembly. The LSZH outer jacket offers improved safety characteristics in enclosed spaces while maintaining mechanical flexibility and durability for rack, cabinet and patch panel use.

Suitable for

• Short-distance multimode network connections in data centers and telecom rooms
• Patching between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• LAN backbone and horizontal distribution within buildings
• Environments requiring low smoke and halogen-free cabling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM1, 62.5/125 µm core/cladding
• Length: 5 meters duplex
• Connector type: SC to SC duplex
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polish type: standard multimode endface polish
• Operation: full duplex (separate transmit and receive fibers)
• Typical applications: short-range multimode networking and patching

How to use

Inspect both connector endfaces before installation and clean them with appropriate fiber cleaning tools to minimize insertion loss. Route the cable without sharp bends; respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fiber to prevent microbending losses. Insert the SC connectors into corresponding SC ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels until a secure click is felt. Use cable management and labeling at both ends to maintain an organized patching field.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid kinking the cable and maintain a bend radius at least 10 times the cable diameter. Keep connector endcaps on until connection and perform periodic visual inspection and cleaning of endfaces in high-use environments.
