ACT 1.5 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors

The ACT fiber patch cable duplex 1.5 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 with LC and SC connectors is a singlemode duplex cable engineered for point-to-point optical links. The 9/125 OS2 fiber core supports long-distance singlemode transmission with low attenuation. The cable uses LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket material to reduce smoke and toxic gas emissions in the event of a fire, making it suitable for installation in confined or public spaces where safety standards require low-halogen components. Duplex LC-to-SC termination provides compact LC on one end and robust SC on the other, enabling flexible connections between active equipment and patch panels.

Advantages

This 1.5 m duplex fiber patch cable delivers low insertion loss and consistent performance for singlemode networks. The 9/125 OS2 fiber construction ensures low attenuation and stable signal quality for high-speed data transmission. The LSZH jacket enhances safety by limiting smoke and halogen emissions during combustion. LC and SC connectors provide compatibility with a wide range of transceivers, switches, routers and patch panels. The duplex format maintains correct polarity and simplifies link deployment in rack and cabinet environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting equipment in data centres and telecommunications racks
• Short campus or building backbone links requiring singlemode fiber
• Connecting optical transceivers, switches and patch panels with LC and SC ports
• Environments requiring low-smoke, low-halogen cabling (LSZH)

• Typical application: Optical patching between equipment and patch panels

How to use

Route the fiber patch cable along existing cable management paths or trays, avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling force. Connect the LC end to the device or transceiver with LC ports and the SC end to the patch panel or equipment with SC sockets, ensuring connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation. Confirm correct duplex orientation so transmit and receive channels align. After installation, secure the cable with Velcro straps or appropriate holders to prevent stress on connectors and maintain bend radius recommendations.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean connector end-faces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before each connection. Maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer, avoid repeated flexing near the connector, and store spare cables in a coiled, untwisted manner. Use LSZH cables in enclosed or public areas where reduced smoke and halogen emission is required.
