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

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC 1.5m 50/125 OM4 is a multimode fiber optic patch cord designed for high-speed, short-reach network links. It has a 1.5 meter length and duplex LC connectors that support full-duplex transmission. The cable uses 50/125 µm OM4 graded multimode fiber optimized for increased bandwidth at 850 nm and improved modal performance compared with lower OM ratings. The outer jacket is low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH), reducing toxic and corrosive gases in case of fire and making it suitable for installation in confined or public spaces where safety standards are important.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable delivers reliable multimode performance with OM4 core grading for improved bandwidth and reduced modal dispersion on short-range links. Duplex LC connectors provide a compact, high-density termination suitable for modern networking equipment. The LSZH jacket decreases the risk of harmful smoke and halogen emissions, aligning the cable with installations that require enhanced fire-safety materials. The 1.5 m length allows tidy cross-connects and patching between adjacent racks or within equipment cabinets without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Data centre patch panels and rack-to-rack connections
• High-performance LAN links and server uplinks
• Telecommunications rooms and equipment cabinets
• Short-reach optical interconnects in enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Connector type: Duplex LC to Duplex LC
• Length: 1.5 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Transmission mode: Full duplex
• Typical applications: Short-reach multimode links, 10G/40G/100G-ready links depending on system components

How to use

Connect each LC connector to the corresponding LC port on the networking equipment, ensuring correct polarity for transmit and receive pairs. Route the 1.5 m cable through cable managers or guides to avoid sharp bends; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment manufacturer. Verify link status using network diagnostics or optical loss test equipment if needed. For clean optical performance, inspect and, if necessary, clean LC connector endfaces before mating to prevent signal loss and connector damage.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable coiled loosely and avoid kinking. Use appropriate dust caps when connectors are not in use. For installations in regulated environments, confirm LSZH compliance with local fire-safety standards. When designing links, match OM4 multimode fiber with compatible transceivers and patching components to achieve expected performance.
