ACT 1.5 meter LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and ST connectors

The ACT 1.5m LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1 Duplex LC ST fiber patch cable is a 1.5 meter duplex fiber lead designed for indoor networking where safety and predictable multimode performance are required. Constructed with Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket, the cable reduces toxic and corrosive fumes in the event of fire and is suitable for use in enclosed or public spaces. The multimode 62.5/125 OM1 fiber supports legacy multimode links and short-distance data transmission with duplex LC and ST connector terminations for flexible patching between equipment and patch panels.

Advantages

The LSZH jacket provides improved safety characteristics compared with standard PVC jacketed cables, making the cable appropriate for installations in offices, schools, hospitals, and other occupied buildings. Duplex construction with LC and ST connectors allows full duplex data flow and easy adaptation between devices that require small-form-factor LC and bayonet-style ST interfaces. Multimode OM1 fiber offers consistent optical performance for short-reach applications and is compatible with common multimode transceivers and legacy infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Indoor backbone and horizontal patching in offices and data rooms
• Network equipment interconnects between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Environments requiring low-smoke, low-toxicity cabling such as public buildings and healthcare facilities
• Short-distance multimode links, lab setups and legacy multimode installations

Key specifications

• Length: 1.5 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connector A: LC (duplex)
• Connector B: ST (duplex)
• Polishing type: typically UPC or PC depending on factory termination

How to use

Route the 1.5 m ACT multimode duplex cable between the LC port on one device and the ST port on the other, ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Align the keyed LC connector with the LC receptacle and insert until it clicks; for the ST connector, align the bayonet fitting, insert, and twist to lock. Avoid tight bends near the connector ends and maintain the cable bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to prevent signal loss. When not in active use, protect connector ends with dust caps and store the cable coiled without kinks.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, clean fiber endfaces before every connection, use appropriate multimode transceivers matched to OM1 specifications, and install cable runs away from strong EMI sources. Choose LSZH cabling in areas with strict fire safety requirements; verify system loss budget when mixing fiber types or connector styles.
