ACT 0.5 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable simplex with LC connectors

The ACT 0.5m OS2 fiber patch cable with LC connectors is a singlemode 9/125 patch lead designed for indoor network and telecom installations. The cable uses OS2 grade singlemode fiber with a 9 µm core diameter and LSZH jacket to reduce smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire. Each cable includes LC connectors with UPC polish and is suitable for short interconnects in data centers and telecommunications racks.

Advantages

Each cable is supplied with an individual test report covering insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL), and the end-faces are 100% inspected to ensure connector quality. The fiber uses Grade A glass and laser-precision cleaving for consistent end-face geometry. The UPC polish on LC connectors provides low back reflection suitable for singlemode applications, while the LSZH jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces.

Suitable for

• Short patching between equipment in data centers
• Telecommunications rack connections
• Indoor backbone and horizontal cabling where LSZH is required
• Singlemode fiber links requiring low insertion and return loss

Key specifications

• Length: 0.5 m
• Fiber type: Singlemode OS2, 9/125 µm
• Connectors: LC — UPC polish
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Quality checks: Individual IL and RL test report; 100% end-face inspection

How to use

Connect the LC connectors to matching LC ports on transceivers, patch panels, or network equipment. Ensure connectors and ports are free from dust before mating to prevent contamination. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid excessive pulling force; follow standard fiber handling practices to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Store and handle the patch cable in clean conditions; use dust caps when connectors are not in use. For best results, clean connector end-faces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before installation and verify link performance with OTDR or power meter if required.
