ACT 0.5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 fiber patch cable duplex with LC connectors

The ACT 0.5m LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 Duplex LC fiber patch cable is a short-length multimode optical link designed for high-bandwidth interconnects. It provides duplex LC connectors on each end and a 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry compliant with OM4 specifications. The cable jacket is made from low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) material to reduce harmful emissions in enclosed or public spaces, and the 0.5 meter length supports compact routing and short-distance connections within racks, patch panels, or equipment ports.

Advantages

This patch cable offers OM4 multimode performance for increased modal bandwidth and improved support for 10 Gigabit and higher applications over short distances. The duplex LC connectors enable full-duplex transmission with compact form-factor plugs, while the LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and halogen release in case of fire, improving safety in data centers and riser spaces. Its 0.5 m length reduces excess cable slack and simplifies cable management in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between switches, servers, and transceivers in data centers
• Patch panel to equipment links in telecommunications rooms
• High-bandwidth local area network segments and storage area network interconnects
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode, OM4

• Connector type: Duplex LC to Duplex LC
• Length: 0.5 meter
• Jacket material: Low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH)
• Transmission: Full duplex
• Typical use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth links

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and, if necessary, clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools to avoid insertion loss. Plug each LC connector into the corresponding duplex adapter or transceiver port, ensuring proper orientation and secure connection. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to preserve optical performance. Use cable management clips or routing channels to keep the cable organized and prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use this OM4 multimode patch cable for short-reach 10 GbE and higher-rate links within racks and between adjacent equipment. Keep connector endfaces protected when not connected, avoid exceeding the bend radius, and follow site safety rules for LSZH cabling in enclosed spaces.
