Singlemode Fiber Cable ACT 0.25m LC Connectors

The ACT 0.25m Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Polarity Twist fiber cable with LC connectors is a short patch cable engineered for low-loss singlemode connections. With a 9 μm core diameter and OS2 classification, the cable supports long-wavelength transmission and is suitable for high-speed links in confined rack or cabinet installations. The built-in polarity twist design simplifies mating of LC-terminated ports while maintaining proper signal orientation for point-to-point connections in data center and telecom infrastructures.

Advantages

This singlemode fiber cable offers low attenuation and consistent signal integrity across common telecom wavelengths. The LC connectors provide a compact duplex interface that reduces port spacing and facilitates dense patching. The short 0.25 m length minimizes excess fiber in patching fields and helps maintain tidy cable management. The cable's OS2 specification and 9/125 core construction ensure compatibility with standard singlemode systems and typical transceiver modules.

Suitable for

• Short patching between transceivers and patch panels in data centers
• Interconnects in telecommunications equipment racks
• High-density optical enclosures where space is limited
• Testing and lab setups requiring stable singlemode links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode (9/125 µm)
• Optical class: OS2
• Connector type: LC to LC (duplex) with polarity twist
• Length: 0.25 m
• Typical insertion loss: compliant with singlemode patch cable standards
• Jacket: indoor-rated, flexible for rack and tray routing

How to use

Install the fiber cable by aligning and inserting the LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on transceivers, patch panels, or optical splitters until they click into place. Confirm correct polarity by verifying signal continuity or link status as appropriate for your equipment. Route the cable through cable organizers or trays to avoid sharp bends and to maintain bend radius recommendations for singlemode fiber. For removal, depress the LC latch and pull straight out to avoid stressing the fiber ends.

Usage recommendations

Handle connectors by the boot and avoid touching or contaminating the ferrule end faces; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid tight loops; keep patch lengths short in high-density areas to reduce signal reflections and manage airflow in racks. For permanent installations, verify link performance with an optical power meter or OTDR as required.
