OM5 Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC Connectors ACT 2m

The ACT OM5 Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC Connectors 2m is a multimode fiber patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission in modern networks. With a 50/125 µm multimode OM5 core and duplex LC terminations, this 2-meter cable supports reliable full duplex communication between network devices. The cable jacket is made of LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material to reduce toxic and corrosive gas emissions in the event of fire, making it suitable for use in enclosed or densely populated areas such as data centers.

Advantages

This OM5 duplex patch cable delivers consistent multimode performance with low insertion loss and reliable connector interface thanks to LC terminations. The 2 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections without excess slack. The LSZH jacket enhances safety in confined installations by minimizing smoke and halogen output. The standardized 50/125 µm core dimension ensures compatibility with multimode equipment and transceivers designed for OM5 performance.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, transceivers and patch panels in data centers
• High-bandwidth short-reach links in enterprise LANs and server rooms
• Full duplex multimode connectivity for storage and virtualization systems
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM5
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: Duplex LC to LC
• Length: 2 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Mode: Duplex/full duplex

How to use

Confirm that connected equipment supports OM5 multimode operation and that LC ports are clean. Route the 2 m duplex cable between devices, taking care to avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress that could degrade optical performance. Align and insert LC connectors into corresponding LC ports until they click into place; follow device guidelines for securing patch cords in patch panels or chassis. For best optical performance, inspect connector endfaces and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before installation.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the OM5 patch cable in a dust-free environment and avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius. Use LSZH cabling where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required by building codes or safety policies. Periodically inspect and clean connector endfaces to maintain low insertion loss and reliable full duplex links.
