Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC ST 1.5m ACT 50/125 OM2

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC ST 1.5m 50/125 OM2 is a multimode optical patch lead designed for short- to medium-range data transmission in structured cabling, data centers, and telecommunications rooms. This 1.5 meter duplex cable uses LC and ST connectors to provide reliable, full-duplex connectivity between network equipment, patch panels, and transceivers. Constructed with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket material, the cable reduces toxic and corrosive gas emissions in the event of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where safety and regulatory compliance are important.

Advantages

The cable supports OM2 multimode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, delivering stable signal transmission for multimode links and common LAN applications. Duplex LC to ST termination enables flexible interoperability with equipment that uses either connector type, simplifying migration and patching tasks. The LSZH jacket provides improved safety for enclosed spaces and reduces smoke and halogen release compared to standard PVC sheathing. The 1.5 m length minimizes excess slack in dense cabling environments while allowing convenient placement of network devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting multimode ports between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Short-run fiber links in data centers and server rooms
• Telecommunications racks and network distribution frames
• Environments requiring low-smoke, low-halogen cabling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM2 (50/125 µm)
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connectors: LC (one end) to ST (other end)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Transmission: Full-duplex data links for multimode systems

How to use

Inspect both LC and ST connector ends for cleanliness and remove any protective caps before insertion. Align the LC connector with the LC port and gently insert until it clicks; align the ST connector bayonet ferrule with the ST adapter and rotate or push as required by the ST coupling mechanism. Route the cable to avoid tight bends (maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius) and secure it with appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the connectors. Verify optical link status on connected equipment and, if necessary, test insertion loss and continuity with appropriate fiber-test equipment.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, clean connectors with approved fiber cleaning tools before mating, avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius, and store or route the patch cable away from high-traffic areas and sources of mechanical stress. Use this OM2 duplex LC–ST patch cable for short multimode links and pair with matching multimode transceivers and patch panels to maintain link integrity.
