ACT 1.5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 fiber patch cable duplex with ST connectors

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable 1.5m LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 Duplex with ST connectors is a short-range optical patch lead designed for reliable duplex data links in structured cabling. Constructed from multimode 50/125 µm fiber and terminated with two ST connectors, the cable supports high-speed transmission across short distances typical for local networks, patch panels, and equipment interconnects. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas emission in case of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required.

Advantages

The multimode 50/125 OM2 core provides a balance between bandwidth and cost for short-haul networking, while the duplex configuration enables simultaneous send and receive channels. ST connectors offer a bayonet-style coupling for secure, repeatable connections in patch bays and wall outlets. The LSZH outer jacket enhances safety in enclosed spaces by minimizing smoke and harmful gases during combustion. The 1.5 meter length is convenient for rack-to-equipment or panel-to-device connections without excess cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and servers to patch panels in data closets
• Short-range connections within office or telecom rooms
• Fiber backbone links between cabinets on the same floor
• Environments requiring low smoke zero halogen materials

How to use

Inspect connectors and fiber ends for cleanliness before installation to ensure optimum optical performance. Align and insert each ST connector into the corresponding ST adapter or port until the bayonet coupling locks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fiber to prevent attenuation increases. Use visual inspection or an optical power meter to verify link continuity and performance after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Avoid exceeding bend radius or applying excessive tensile load during installation. Choose LSZH cabling for installations in stairwells, confined spaces, or areas where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required by safety regulations.
