ACT 0.5 meter LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors

The ACT 0.5m LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1 Duplex LC SC fiber patch cable is a short-range multimode connection cable designed for reliable optical links between networking equipment. It provides duplex transmission with LC connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other, using a 62.5 µm core multimode fiber. The cable jacket is made from low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) material to reduce hazardous emissions in enclosed environments and meet safety considerations for indoor installations.

Advantages

This multimode fiber cable offers consistent optical performance for short-distance links and supports full-duplex data transfer. The duplex LC–SC connector combination simplifies connections between devices with differing port types while maintaining standard multimode alignment. The LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and toxic gas production in the event of fire, which is important for use in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and other confined spaces. The 0.5 meter length reduces excess cable slack and helps maintain tidy rack or cabinet layouts.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections in data centers and server rooms
• Patch panels and network equipment with LC and SC ports
• Telecommunications closets and local area network (LAN) links
• Environments where low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling is required

How to use

Identify the correct ports on your devices—LC for the LC-terminated end and SC for the SC-terminated end—then insert each connector into its matching socket until it seats securely. Ensure the fiber connectors are clean before mating to avoid signal loss; use a fiber cleaning tool if needed. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid tight bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified for multimode fiber to prevent attenuation. For duplex operation, keep transmit and receive channels correctly aligned between devices.

Recommendations

Before installation, inspect and clean connector end faces. Avoid bending the cable beyond recommended radius and secure excess length to prevent strain. Use LSZH cabling for indoor or occupied spaces where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required. Verify link performance after installation with appropriate optical testing equipment.
