ACT 20 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors

The ACT 20 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors is a 20 m duplex singlemode fiber link designed for indoor network and telecom environments. Constructed with 9/125 µm singlemode fiber and OS2 category performance, this duplex cable uses LC connector on one end and SC connector on the other to connect equipment with differing interface types. The outer jacket is made from low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) material to reduce toxic fumes and dense smoke in case of fire, making it suitable for enclosed spaces such as data centers, telecom rooms and office cable routes.

Advantages

The duplex singlemode configuration delivers stable high-speed transmission and low attenuation over long distances consistent with OS2 fiber characteristics. LSZH jacket material lowers the risk associated with toxic gas emission in the event of combustion and meets common safety requirements for indoor installations. The combination of LC and SC connectors provides flexible compatibility with a wide range of networking devices and patch panels, while the 20 meter length covers medium-distance runs without additional splicing or patching.

Suitable for

• Connecting singlemode transceivers to patch panels in data centers
• Linking telecommunication equipment and network switches across server rooms
• Indoor fiber backbones and horizontal cabling where low smoke materials are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode 9/125 µm
• OS classification: OS2
• Configuration: duplex
• Length: 20 meters
• Connectors: LC (one end) to SC (other end)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Typical applications: indoor data center and telecom cabling

How to use

Route the duplex fiber cable along cable trays or underfloor pathways following building cable management standards. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion using appropriate fiber cleaning tools to prevent signal loss. Plug the LC connector into the LC port of the device and the SC connector into the SC port or patch panel, observing correct polarity for transmit/receive channels. Secure the cable to prevent excessive bending; maintain a bend radius consistent with singlemode fiber specifications to avoid increased attenuation.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for indoor installations where low smoke materials are required and for connections between devices with LC and SC interfaces. Avoid routing near high electromagnetic interference sources and protect connectors with dust caps when not in use. For long-term performance, perform periodic visual inspection and optical power testing after installation.
