Fiber patch cable duplex LC ST 1m ACT 1 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2

The ACT Fiber patch cable duplex LC ST 1m is a 1 meter singlemode fiber optic patch cord designed for reliable point-to-point connections in network racks, server rooms and telecom panels. It uses 9/125 µm OS2 singlemode fiber with a duplex LC connector on one end and a ST connector on the other, combining compact LC density with the bayonet-style ST interface. The outer jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), which reduces toxic fumes and dense smoke in the event of fire and is suitable for installations where low emission materials are required.

Advantages

This duplex LC–ST patch cable provides stable singlemode transmission with low attenuation across long distances and consistent connector performance. The 1 m length is practical for short runs and tidy cable management between equipment in close proximity. The LSZH jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces and public buildings, while the robust connector housings offer mechanical durability and repeatable mating cycles. The combination of LC and ST connectors enables interoperability between equipment with different port types without additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Connecting singlemode transceivers and patch panels in data centers and telecom closets
• Short interconnects between switches, media converters, and optical equipment
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling such as public buildings and transport hubs
• Laboratory and test bench setups where a compact LC to ST connection is needed

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode 9/125 µm (OS2)
• Connector configuration: Duplex LC to ST
• Length: 1 meter
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polish type: (typically) UPC/PC for singlemode optical performance
• Bandwidth/attenuation: optimized for singlemode long-distance transmission
• Operating temperature range: suitable for indoor networking environments

How to use

Inspect connectors and fiber ends for contamination before installation and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Insert the LC connector into the LC duplex port and twist-and-push the ST connector into the ST receptacle until it locks. Route the 1 m cable to avoid sharp bends; maintain bend radii recommended for 9/125 µm fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Perform optical power and continuity tests after installation to verify link performance and ensure correct polarity in duplex connections.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the fiber patch cable in a clean environment. Avoid excessive pulling forces and tight bends. Use the cable for indoor applications and in areas where LSZH-rated cabling is required by safety standards. Periodically inspect and clean connector end-faces to maintain optimal signal quality.
