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

The Fiber patch cable OM1 62.5/125 SC duplex ACT 0.5m is a 0.5 meter multimode fiber patch lead designed for indoor network connections. It uses 62.5/125 µm OM1 multimode fiber and SC duplex connectors to provide a full-duplex optical link for short-reach data transmission. The cable jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), reducing hazardous smoke and corrosive gases in the event of a fire and making the cable suitable for installations where fire safety and reduced toxic emissions are required.

Advantages

The OM1 62.5/125 fiber core supports established multimode applications and provides stable optical performance for short-distance links within buildings. Duplex SC connectors ensure secure, easy mating and consistent alignment for transmit and receive channels. The LSZH jacket offers improved safety compared with standard PVC jackets in confined or public indoor spaces. The short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cabling in dense patching environments and helps maintain neat cable management.

Suitable for

• Short-distance multimode connections in data cabinets and patch panels
• Optical links between switches, servers, and network equipment within the same room or rack
• Indoor installations where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required
• Environments using SC duplex connectors and OM1 multimode fiber

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM1
• Core/cladding diameter: 62.5/125 µm
• Connector type: SC duplex
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Transmission: Full duplex optical link for short-reach multimode applications

How to use

Connect each SC duplex connector to the corresponding SC ports on network devices, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive orientation for full-duplex operation. Route the 0.5 m cable between patch panels, switches, or equipment in the same rack or cabinet to avoid excess slack. Handle the fiber gently during installation: avoid sharp bends, kinks, and tensile stress on the cable. If cleaning is needed, use approved fiber connector cleaners before mating to ensure low loss and reliable connections.

Recommendations

Use this OM1 multimode patch cable for indoor short-reach links where SC duplex connectivity and LSZH jacket properties are required. For longer multimode distances or higher bandwidth requirements, consider multimode fiber types with higher modal bandwidth or singlemode alternatives; for outdoor use select cables rated for external environments.
