ACT 0.5 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with SC connectors

The ACT 0.5m LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Duplex SC fiber patch cable is a short, factory-terminated optical jumper designed for singlemode networks. Its 9/125 µm fiber core and OS2 specification provide low attenuation for long-distance, high-speed signal transmission, while duplex SC connectors enable full-duplex links between equipment. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic fume emissions in the event of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor use where safety and low emission materials are required.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable delivers consistent optical performance with low insertion loss and reliable mechanical connector interfaces. The SC duplex connectors offer a push-pull locking mechanism for secure mating and easy handling in rack and panel installations. The LSZH outer jacket minimizes hazardous emissions, and the short 0.5 meter length reduces excess slack, improving cable management in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting transceivers, switches and patch panels in data centers
• Telecommunications equipment links requiring singlemode fiber
• Short interconnect runs in server rooms and network cabinets
• Indoor installations where low-smoke, zero-halogen materials are specified

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode
• Core/cladding: 9/125 µm
• Specification: OS2
• Connector type: Duplex SC to SC
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Mode: Single fiber per channel, full duplex operation

How to use

Route the ACT 0.5m LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Duplex SC cable between the two devices, ensuring connectors are clean and undamaged before mating. Align the SC connectors with the ports and push until the connector clicks to secure the connection. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment or fiber standards to prevent increased attenuation. For best results, inspect connector endfaces with a fiber inspection tool or use a cleaning procedure before insertion.

Recommendations

Use this short-length patch cable for direct connections where minimal slack is desired; store in a protective tray or route along cable management channels to prevent strain. For environments requiring longer distances or different connector types, select an appropriate cable with matching fiber specification and connector interfaces. Regularly inspect and clean connector endfaces to maintain optimal optical performance.
