OS2 Fiber Patch Cable ACT 40 meter Duplex LC Connectors

The ACT OS2 Fiber Patch Cable 40 meter Duplex LC Connectors is a singlemode optical cable designed for long-distance, high-speed data transmission. Constructed with a 9/125 µm singlemode core and duplex LC terminations, this 40 m fiber patch lead supports full duplex links commonly used in telecommunications and data center environments. The outer jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), reducing toxic and corrosive gas release in the event of fire and making the cable suitable for use in enclosed or public spaces where safety standards are important.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable offers low attenuation and stable singlemode performance over long distances, ensuring consistent signal integrity for high-bandwidth applications. Duplex LC connectors provide compact, reliable mating and are widely compatible with modern networking equipment. The LSZH jacket improves safety by producing less smoke and no halogen-based toxic gases when exposed to high temperatures. The cable’s standardized 9/125 µm core ensures interoperability with other singlemode OS2 infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Long-distance singlemode links in data centers and telecom racks
• Fiber patching between switches, routers, transceivers, and optical line equipment
• Indoor installations where low-smoke, zero-halogen materials are required
• Full duplex optical connections requiring LC duplex terminations

How to use

Remove protective dust caps from LC connectors before insertion. Route the 40 m cable avoiding sharp bends and kinks; maintain a bending radius recommended for singlemode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Insert the LC connectors into compatible LC ports on transceivers, patch panels, or networking equipment, ensuring correct duplex polarity for transmit and receive pairs. After installation, secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories to minimize strain on connectors and maintain consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces and clean with a suitable fiber-optic cleaning tool before mating to prevent signal loss. Avoid tight bundling with power cables and limit exposure to temperatures outside the specified operating range. For permanent installations, use labeled patching and strain relief to preserve cable integrity and ensure easy maintenance.
