Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC 20m ACT 20 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC 20m is a 20 meter multimode fiber optic patch cord constructed for indoor network environments. It uses 50/125 µm OM2 multimode fiber and duplex LC connectors to provide reliable full-duplex data transmission across short to medium distance links. The cable jacket is made from LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material to reduce toxic gases and smoke emission in case of fire, which is suitable for installations in enclosed spaces and public buildings.

Advantages

This multimode fiber cable offers stable optical performance for data, voice and video traffic while supporting duplex communication through LC connector pairs. The OM2 50/125 core/cladding dimensions deliver predictable modal bandwidth for typical enterprise and data center patching scenarios. The LSZH jacket improves safety in densely populated or poorly ventilated areas by minimizing smoke and corrosive gas output during combustion. The pre-terminated duplex construction simplifies installation and reduces termination time on patch panels and network equipment.

Suitable for

• Indoor horizontal and backbone cabling in offices and commercial buildings
• Data center interconnects and server rack patching
• LAN networking between switches, routers and fiber NICs
• AV systems and IPTV distribution within a facility

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM2, 50/125 µm core/cladding
• Connector type: Duplex LC on both ends
• Length: 20 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Transmission mode: Full duplex
• Typical applications: Short to medium distance network links, patching and interconnects

How to use

Route the 20 m fiber patch cable between the two intended network ports, avoiding sharp bends and tight bends below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to maintain optical performance. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC adapter or transceiver until it clicks; ensure duplex orientation is correct for transmit/receive alignment. Secure the cable along trays or cable management panels to prevent strain on connectors and to preserve the LSZH jacket integrity. Perform end-to-end testing with an optical power meter or laser tester if required to verify link loss and signal quality.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable coiled loosely without tight loops and keep connectors covered with dust caps when not in use. For installations in public or confined spaces where fire safety regulations apply, confirm that LSZH jacket properties meet local requirements. Avoid exposing the cable to excessive tensile force, extreme temperatures, or mechanical crushing to ensure long-term reliability.
