Fiber patch cable duplex ACT 1 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 with LC and SC connectors

The ACT fiber patch cable duplex 1 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 with LC and SC connectors is a multimode fiber jumper designed for short-range, high-bandwidth network links. It combines an OM3 graded multimode core with LSZH outer jacket material to support 10 Gbps and higher short-reach applications while reducing toxic emissions in case of fire. The cable is terminated with an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, arranged as a duplex assembly to maintain proper transmit/receive pairing for active equipment in data centers and telecommunication racks.

Advantages

The OM3 multimode core provides improved modal bandwidth for high-speed data transfer in structured cabling systems. The LSZH jacket minimizes hazardous smoke and halogen release, making the cable suitable for installations in confined spaces and public areas with elevated fire-safety requirements. Duplex termination with LC and SC connectors ensures compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and patch panels while preserving signal polarity and low insertion loss.

Suitable for

• Short-reach data center links and rack-to-rack connections
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Patch panels and optical distribution frames
• High-density fiber enclosures using LC and SC ports

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3 (50/125 µm)
• Length: 1 meter
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connector A: LC
• Connector B: SC
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Suitable for 10 Gbps and short-range 40/100 Gbps applications (per OM3 performance)
• Low insertion loss and standard polarity for duplex links

How to use

Verify that both ends of the LC–SC duplex cable match the equipment ports and maintain correct transmit/receive orientation before insertion. Gently align the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port until each connector clicks or seats securely. Avoid bending the cable beyond the recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. When routing the cable, secure it with appropriate ties or cable guides without compressing the jacket or connectors.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and use appropriate cleaning tools to remove dust and debris. Store unused cables in protective sleeves and avoid tight coils. For environments requiring strict fire-safety compliance, choose LSZH-jacketed fiber to reduce smoke and halogen emissions. Follow equipment vendor guidelines for supported transceivers and maximum link distances when using OM3 multimode fiber.
