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

The ACT 0.5 meter LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1 duplex LC connectors fiber patch cable provides a short-length multimode link for full duplex data transmission. With a core diameter of 62.5 µm and OM1 multimode specification, the cable is intended for short-reach network connections. The duplex LC connectors enable two-channel transmission in a compact form factor, and the LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, supporting safer installation in enclosed or public spaces.

Advantages

The cable combines OM1 multimode fiber with duplex LC terminations to deliver reliable short-distance connectivity between equipment. Its 0.5 meter length minimizes excess slack in densely packed racks and patch panels. The LSZH jacket material lowers hazardous fumes and corrosive gases during combustion, aligning the cable with environments that require reduced smoke and halogen emissions. The compact LC connectors occupy less panel space compared with larger connector types.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches and servers in data centers and server rooms
• Interconnects in telecommunications closets and patch panels
• Short-reach multimode links for industrial or office network equipment
• Environments requiring low-smoke, low-halogen cabling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM1
• Core/cladding diameter: 62.5/125 µm
• Connector type: Duplex LC to Duplex LC
• Cable length: 0.5 meter
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Transmission: Full duplex

How to use

Identify the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) orientation required by the connected equipment and route the 0.5 m patch cable between the two LC-compatible ports. Insert each LC connector until it clicks into the adapter or transceiver socket, ensuring secure seating. For duplex connections maintain correct polarity by crossing fibers where required by the equipment or maintaining straight-through orientation as specified. Avoid tight bends near the connector and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors and ports.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment and keep protective caps on connectors until installation. Maintain minimum bend radius specified by standard multimode fiber handling practices, avoid kinks, and inspect connector endfaces for contamination; clean with appropriate fiber-optic cleaning tools if needed.
