ACT 0.5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors

The ACT OM2 Fiber Patch Cable 0.5m Duplex with LC and SC connectors is a multimode fiber optic cable designed for short-distance, high-speed data transmission. With a 50/125 µm core-cladding structure and duplex configuration, the cable supports simultaneous send and receive channels. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions, making the cable suitable for indoor installations where low-smoke, low-toxicity materials are required.

Advantages

This OM2 patch cable delivers reliable multimode performance for local networks and equipment connections. The duplex design enables full-duplex communication between devices, and the combination of LC and SC connectors offers compatibility with a wide range of networking hardware. The LSZH sheath improves safety in enclosed spaces, while the short 0.5 m length helps minimize excess cabling and signal loss in rack-mounted or patch-panel installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, transceivers and patch panels in data centers
• Short-run links between rack-mounted equipment
• Office LANs and telecommunications cabinets
• Fiber backbone segments requiring OM2 multimode fiber

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM2 (50/125 µm)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connectors: LC to SC (duplex)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Typical applications: Short-range multimode links, horizontal and rack cabling

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before insertion to ensure optimal signal quality. Align and insert the LC and SC connectors into compatible ports on networking equipment or patch panels until they engage securely. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the cable bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to prevent attenuation. For permanent or semi-permanent installations, route the cable through cable management trays or panels to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in clean, dry environments and use proper dust caps on connectors when not in use. For best performance in multimode systems, verify transceiver compatibility and test links after installation with appropriate optical test equipment.
