Fiber Patch Cable ACT 1.5m LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 Duplex LC SC

The ACT 1.5m LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 fiber patch cable with Duplex LC to SC connectors provides a short, reliable link for high-speed network connections. Designed for multimode OM4 environments, the cable has a 50 µm core diameter optimized for enhanced bandwidth and reduced modal dispersion. The LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and toxic gas release in fire conditions, making this cable suitable for installations where safety and compliance with low-smoke requirements are important. The duplex configuration supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels to enable full-duplex data transfer in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks.

Advantages

The multimode OM4 specification offers improved bandwidth performance over standard multimode types for short- to medium-range links. The 1.5 m length provides a tidy, low-latency connection between adjacent racks or equipment without excess slack. LC and SC duplex connectors ensure compatibility with common transceivers and patch panels; the LC connector provides high-density connection while the SC end offers robust, easy-to-handle termination. The LSZH jacket reduces the risk to people and equipment in enclosed spaces by limiting smoke and halogen emissions during combustion.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, servers and transceivers within racks and cabinets
• Data center short-run multimode OM4 links
• High-speed LANs, SANs and virtualization environments requiring full-duplex fiber
• Installations in public buildings, offices or transportation hubs where low-smoke materials are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4 (50/125 µm core/cladding)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connector configuration: Duplex LC to SC
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Transmission: Full-duplex multimode optical link
• Typical use range: Short to medium distances within data centers and equipment rooms

How to use

Identify the appropriate transceiver ports or patch panel adapters for LC and SC connectors and ensure equipment is powered down or ports are prepared according to your site procedures. Gently align and insert the LC and SC connectors into the corresponding sockets until they click or seat firmly. Avoid bending the fiber cable beyond its minimum bend radius and route the cable to prevent crushing or sharp kinks. After installation, verify link integrity and throughput using suitable optical test equipment or network diagnostics to confirm expected performance.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the fiber cable using protective caps until installation to prevent contamination. Clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Use cable management and strain relief near connectors to maintain bend radius and prevent mechanical stress. For environments requiring fire-safe materials, the LSZH jacket provides reduced smoke and halogen emissions compared with standard jackets.
