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

The ACT Fiber patch cable duplex 0.5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 is a short, high-performance multimode fiber jumper with LC connectors designed for reliable indoor data transmission. With a 50 µm core diameter and OM2 grading, the cable supports typical multimode applications in data centers, server rooms and telecommunications racks. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in the event of a fire, improving safety for enclosed spaces and structured cabling environments.

Advantages

This duplex fiber patch cable offers low insertion loss and stable optical performance over a short link, enabling consistent connectivity between network devices. The LC connectors provide a compact plug interface suited to high-density patch panels and SFP transceivers. The LSZH outer jacket minimizes toxic and corrosive gases during combustion and is suitable for routes where fire-safety regulations prioritize low-smoke, zero-halogen materials. The 0.5 meter length reduces excess cabling and clutter in rack-mounted or cabinet installations.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, transceivers and patch panels in data centers
• Short multimode links in server rooms and telecom closets
• High-density rack installations requiring LC connectors
• Indoor installations where low-smoke zero-halogen cabling is required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode (OM2)
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Length: 0.5 meter
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polish type: Typically UPC (standard multimode polish)
• Mode: Duplex multimode for bidirectional traffic

How to use

Route the 0.5 meter duplex cable between the two intended ports, ensuring LC connectors are aligned with the transceiver or patch panel ports. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Insert connectors gently until the latch clicks, and verify link status on connected equipment. For repeated installations, inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating to maintain optimal performance.

Recommendations

Store the cable coiled loosely and avoid tight wrapping. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, and follow workplace fire-safety policies when planning routes where LSZH cabling is required. For maximum lifetime and performance, use this OM2 cable on short multimode links and pair with compatible LC multimode transceivers and patch panels.
