ACT 1 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM5 duplex fiber patch cable with LC and SC connectors

The ACT 1 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM5 duplex fiber patch cable with LC and SC connectors is engineered for high-speed data transmission in modern local area networks and data centers. This multimode optical fiber patch cable provides reliable signal integrity and versatile connectivity between various networking hardware devices. Built with a low smoke zero halogen jacket, it ensures improved safety by minimizing toxic and corrosive gases in the event of a fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where safety standards are stringent.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable features high-grade Grade A-m fiber combined with laser precision cleaving and UPC polish to ensure optimal optical performance with minimal signal loss and reflection. Each individual cable undergoes rigorous testing and comes with an individual test report detailing insertion loss and return loss, while the end-face is fully inspected to guarantee flawless manufacturing standards. The duplex configuration allows for simultaneous bidirectional data flow, and the durable LSZH jacket provides enhanced environmental and safety protection compared to standard PVC alternatives.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, and transceivers in data centers
• High-speed local area network deployments
• Enterprise and campus network backbone connections
• Environments requiring low smoke zero halogen safety standards

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be suitable for long-distance telecommunications that require single-mode fiber infrastructure due to its multimode OM5 specification, which is optimized for shorter reach high-bandwidth applications. Additionally, the specific combination of LC and SC connectors might require adapters or media converters if your existing hardware ports do not match these connector types.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 meter
• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 OM5 duplex
• Connectors: LC and SC
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Polish type: UPC
• Fiber grade: Grade A-m

How to use

Before installation, carefully inspect the connectors for any dust or debris and clean them using appropriate optical fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Remove the protective dust caps from both the LC and SC connectors on the cable. Align the connector carefully with the port on your networking device, ensuring the latch mechanism aligns correctly, and gently push until you hear a click indicating a secure connection. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling forces during routing to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage to the internal glass fibers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware supports LC and SC connector types
• Confirm that the 1-meter length is sufficient for the distance between your connected devices
• Check if your network infrastructure requires OM5 multimode specifications
• Ensure that your installation environment benefits from or requires an LSZH jacket

Always maintain clean connector end-faces and adhere to recommended minimum bend radius guidelines to ensure long-term reliability and optimal network performance.
