ACT LC 50/125µm OM4 pigtail with 1 m length, LSZH jacket, and Violet color

The ACT LC 50/125µm OM4 pigtail is a high-performance fiber optic cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems. Measuring 1 meter in length, this fiber optic pigtail features an LC connector on one end and an open end for splicing, making it an essential component for efficient network installations. Built with an OM4 multimode fiber type and a 50 µm core diameter, it supports demanding bandwidth requirements in modern data centers and telecommunication networks. The cable is housed in a low-smoke zero-halogen LSZH violet jacket, which enhances safety by minimizing toxic and corrosive gas emissions in the event of a fire while providing easy visual identification.

Advantages

This fiber optic pigtail ensures exceptional signal integrity and low insertion loss, backed by individual testing and inspection of every cable for insertion loss, return loss, and end-face quality. The manufacturing process utilizes laser precision cleaving to deliver optimal optical performance and reliable connections. Its LSZH jacket material offers improved safety standards compared to standard PVC cables, making it suitable for enclosed spaces and sensitive environments. The distinct violet color allows for quick and accurate circuit identification within patch panels and splice trays, streamlining cable management and maintenance procedures.

Suitable for

• High-speed data center network installations
• Telecommunication infrastructure and structured cabling
• Splicing applications within patch panels and distribution boxes
• Enterprise local area networks requiring OM4 performance

When it may not be suitable

This product is not suitable for direct connections between active network equipment without prior splicing, as one end is left open as a pigtail. Additionally, the 1-meter length may be insufficient for runs that require long-distance bridging without intermediate patch locations.

Key specifications

• Fibre optic type: OM4
• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector type: LC Male on one end, open pigtail on the other
• Core diameter: 50/125 µm
• Jacket material: Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH)
• Jacket color: Violet

How to use

To install the ACT LC 50/125µm OM4 pigtail, prepare the open end of the fiber by stripping and cleaning it according to standard optical splicing procedures. Splice the bare fiber strand to the incoming distribution cable using a fusion splicer. Once the splice is complete, secure the splice protection sleeve and place it inside a splice tray. Finally, plug the LC connector end into the designated port on a patch panel, adapter plate, or active network device.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing infrastructure and transceivers are compatible with OM4 multimode fiber specifications.
• Confirm that a 1-meter cable length is sufficient for your internal enclosure routing and splicing layout.
• Check whether your installation standards require LSZH jacket materials for fire safety compliance.

Usage recommendations: Always inspect and clean the LC connector end-face using appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools before mating it with any adapter or port. Ensure that the minimum bend radius of the cable is maintained during installation to prevent signal degradation or fiber damage.
