Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC ST 15m ACT RL7915

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC ST 15m RL7915 is a 15‑metre singlemode fiber optic cable designed for indoor network connections. It uses 9/125 µm OS2 singlemode fiber and terminates in a duplex LC connector on one end and an ST connector on the other, providing a full duplex link for simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The cable jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), reducing toxic smoke and corrosive gases in the event of fire and making the assembly suitable for use in enclosed or public spaces where low smoke behaviour is required.

Advantages

This duplex fiber patch cable supports singlemode transmission over 9/125 µm fiber, offering low attenuation and stable performance for long‑distance links within premises. The LC connector provides a compact, high‑density termination while the ST connector offers a simple bayonet coupling for legacy or mixed‑connector environments. LSZH construction improves safety and regulatory compliance for indoor installations. The 15 m length balances reach and manageability for equipment racks, server rooms, and wiring closets.

Suitable for

• Connecting singlemode transceivers and networking equipment in server rooms and data centers
• Linking patch panels to switches, routers, or media converters
• Environments where low smoke zero halogen cabling is required
• Mixed‑connector installations that require LC to ST connectivity

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable for visible damage before installation. Route the cable with gentle bends, avoiding sharp kinks and excessive tensile load; respect the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer for 9/125 µm fiber. Clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools prior to mating. Insert the ST connector using its bayonet push‑and‑twist motion and plug the LC duplex connector into the corresponding LC port, ensuring correct alignment of transmit and receive pairs for full duplex operation. Secure and label connections at patch panels and equipment to maintain traceability.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable on reels or coiled loosely to avoid microbending losses. Use dust caps when connectors are not connected and perform optical power tests after installation to verify loss budget and link performance. For installations in high‑density racks, use cable management to prevent connector strain and maintain minimum bend radius.
