Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC SC 50m ACT RL8950

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC SC 50m is a singlemode 9/125 OS2 patch lead designed for reliable long-distance optical connections. This 50 metre duplex cable terminates with an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, providing compatibility between different transceiver and panel interfaces. Constructed with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, the cable is intended for installations where reduced toxic and corrosive gas emissions are required in the event of fire.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable supports singlemode OS2 performance characteristics suitable for high-speed, low-attenuation links over long runs. The duplex configuration enables bidirectional transmission across separate fibres while the LC and SC terminations allow straightforward mating with a wide range of equipment and patch panels. The LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and halogen release, which is important for safe deployment in enclosed spaces such as data centres, telecom rooms and public buildings.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting optical transceivers and switches in data centres
• Patch panel to equipment connections in telecommunications rooms
• Long-distance singlemode links where OS2 fibre is required
• Indoor installations requiring low smoke and halogen emissions

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Singlemode 9/125 µm (OS2)
• Length: 50 metres
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibres)
• Connectors: LC on one end, SC on the other end
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Application: Patch cable for data centre and telecom use

How to use

Route the cable along the planned path avoiding sharp bends and tight radii; follow the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for 9/125 singlemode fibre to prevent increased attenuation. Insert the LC connector into the LC receptacle and the SC connector into the SC adapter or device port, ensuring connectors are clean and dust-free before mating. Secure the cable in cable management trays or on patch panels to prevent strain on the connectors and maintain consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

Inspect and clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before each connection. Avoid repeated flexing near connector ends and maintain bend radii above the specified minimum to preserve link quality. Use labelled cable management and strain relief to simplify maintenance and reduce the risk of accidental disconnections.
