Fiber patch cable duplex ACT 0.25 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 with LC connectors

The ACT fiber patch cable duplex 0.25 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 with LC connectors is a short-length optical connection cable designed for reliable indoor links. It features a 9 µm singlemode core suitable for long-distance singlemode signaling standards and supports duplex transmission via two LC-terminated fibers. The jacket is made of LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) material to reduce harmful emissions in confined spaces, making the cable appropriate for use in data centers, telecom cabinets and other indoor network installations.

Advantages

This duplex singlemode cable provides low insertion loss and consistent optical performance thanks to quality LC connectors and an OS2 fiber profile. Its 0.25 meter length reduces excess cable slack in dense rack environments and helps maintain neat cable management. The LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and toxic gas release in the event of fire, meeting safety requirements for indoor installations. The standardized 9/125 core/cladding geometry ensures compatibility with singlemode transceivers and patch panels that use LC terminations.

Suitable for

• Short indoor interconnects between network equipment in racks and patch panels
• Connecting singlemode transceivers and SFP/GBIC modules with LC ports
• Telecommunications distribution frames and data center cabinet patching
• Environments requiring low-smoke zero-halogen cabling for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode (9/125 µm)
• Fiber grade: OS2
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Length: 0.25 meter
• Connectors: LC to LC (duplex)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Typical application: Indoor network patching and equipment interconnect

How to use

Inspect both LC connectors and port receptacles for cleanliness before insertion. Gently align the LC connector keyed latch with the port and insert until it clicks into place. For duplex connections, ensure the correct transmit/receive orientation by matching the cable labeling or color coding to device ports. Avoid tight bends; maintain the cable's minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. When disconnecting, depress the LC latch and pull the connector straight out to prevent endface damage.

Usage recommendations

Use fiber cleaning tools or wipes recommended for optical connectors to remove dust and contaminants from connector endfaces before making connections. Route the 0.25 m patch cable to minimize stress and avoid kinking; in high-density racks consider short-length patch panels or cable management arms to keep connections accessible and strain-free.
