ACT 5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM5 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors

The ACT 5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM5 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors is a reliable networking solution designed for high-speed data transmission in local area networks, telecommunications, and data centers. Built with a length of 5 meters, this duplex patch cable ensures stable connectivity between network hardware. It features a low smoke zero halogen jacket, which enhances safety by emitting limited smoke and no halogen when exposed to high heat or fire. Every individual cable undergoes rigorous testing with a specific test report for insertion loss and return loss, alongside complete end-face inspection to guarantee optimal performance right out of the box.

Advantages

This fiber optic cable utilizes Grade A-m fiber combined with laser precision cleaving and a UPC polish to deliver exceptionally low signal attenuation and high reliability. The inclusion of an LSZH outer sheath ensures improved safety standards for indoor installations where environmental protection is a priority. With its standardized LC and SC connectors, the cable offers broad compatibility with various networking devices such as switches, routers, and media converters.

Suitable for

• High-speed data transmission in enterprise data centers
• Local area network connections requiring reliable multimode fiber
• Connecting network equipment with LC and SC interfaces over a 5-meter distance
• Telecommunication environments where low smoke zero halogen safety standards are required

When it may not be suitable

This product is not suitable for single-mode fiber infrastructure deployments due to its multimode 50/125 OM5 core specification. Additionally, it may not fit installations requiring cable lengths significantly longer or shorter than the fixed 5-meter span.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 meters
• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 OM5
• Cable structure: Duplex
• Connectors: LC and SC
• Polish type: UPC
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Individual test reports for insertion loss and return loss included

How to use

Carefully unpack the fiber patch cable and inspect the connectors for any dust or debris before installation. Remove the protective dust caps from both the LC and SC ends immediately prior to insertion. Align the connector with the corresponding port on your network device and gently push until you hear a secure click. Avoid excessive bending or sharp turns during routing to maintain signal integrity and prevent physical damage to the internal glass fibers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware supports multimode 50/125 OM5 fiber specifications
• Check that your equipment uses a combination of LC and SC ports
• Measure the required distance to ensure the 5-meter length is sufficient for your cable routing path
• Confirm whether local building safety codes mandate the use of LSZH jacketed cables

Usage recommendations: Always handle fiber optic connectors with clean hands and use approved optical cleaning tools if dust is present. Ensure that the bend radius of the cable exceeds the minimum specified limit during installation to prevent permanent signal degradation.
