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

The ACT 0.5m LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 SC ST fiber patch cable is a short duplex fiber link featuring one SC connector and one ST connector. Designed for multimode networks, it uses a 50 µm core diameter (50/125) OM2 fiber optimized for short- to medium-range high-speed data transmission. The LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and eliminates halogen emissions in case of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor installations where safety and low-toxicity emissions are required.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable supports full duplex communication and provides low insertion loss and consistent optical performance across multimode links. The SC and ST connector combination allows flexible connectivity between equipment with different port types without adapters. The LSZH outer jacket adds a safety benefit for enclosed environments by reducing toxic fumes and dense smoke, while the short 0.5 m length helps maintain tidy cable management and minimizes signal attenuation over the link.

Suitable for

• Short interconnects in data centers and server rooms
• Patch panels and network racks requiring SC and ST terminations
• Office LAN backbone segments and telecom closets
• Equipment testing and lab environments for multimode systems

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM2 (50/125 µm core/cladding)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: SC to ST, duplex configuration
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Application: Short- to medium-range multimode data links

How to use

Before connecting, inspect connector endfaces for dust or contamination and clean if necessary using appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Insert the SC connector into the SC port until it clicks, and align and insert the ST connector into the ST receptacle, securing the bayonet-style coupling by twisting. Use the cable for duplex transmission by matching transmit and receive ports on connected devices. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep the cable length appropriate for the intended multimode application and avoid unnecessary splicing. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, and store the cable coiled loosely to prevent microbends. In environments with strict fire-safety requirements, confirm that all installation materials meet the same LSZH standards.
