ACT 0.25 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 fiber patch cable duplex with LC connectors

The ACT fiber patch cable duplex 0.25 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 is a short-length multimode fiber link with LC connectors designed for high-density networking. With a 50 µm core diameter and OM4 grading, the cable supports high-speed data transmission in local area networks, data centers, and telecom racks. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in the event of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where safety standards are a priority.

Advantages

This duplex OM4 cable provides improved bandwidth and lower attenuation compared with lower OM grades for short- to medium-range multimode connections. The LC connectors enable compact, high-density port usage and reliable mating with standard LC ports on transceivers and patch panels. The LSZH outer jacket minimizes hazardous emissions and meets common safety requirements for enclosed spaces.

How to use

Install the ACT 0.25 m OM4 duplex patch cable by aligning and inserting the LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on network devices, transceivers, or patch panels until they click. Avoid excessive bending; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. For routine maintenance, inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating to ensure optimal optical performance.

Recommendations

Use this short-length OM4 duplex cable for high-density patching within racks and for interconnections between adjacent equipment where minimal slack and small footprint are required. Store and route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; when cleaning connectors use lint-free wipes and approved fiber cleaning fluid or dry cassette cleaners.
