ACT 1.5 meter Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Polarity Twist fiber cable with LC connectors

The ACT Singlemode Fiber Cable 1.5m OS2 with Polarity Twist and LC connectors is a duplex optical patch cable designed for singlemode networks. It uses a 9/125 µm core/cladding fiber optimized for long-distance transmission with low attenuation. The cable length of 1.5 meters and LC-to-LC termination make it suitable for patching between equipment in racks, panels, and active devices where singlemode performance and correct polarity are required.

Advantages

This fiber cable delivers predictable singlemode performance with low insertion loss and stable optical characteristics across standard telecom wavelengths. The OS2 fiber grade is intended for long-range signal propagation and reduced backscatter. The LC connectors provide a compact duplex interface that fits high-density panels and transceivers, while the polarity twist design simplifies maintaining correct transmit/receive orientation without additional rework.

Suitable for

• Patching between singlemode transceivers and network switches
• Connections in telecom and data center fiber panels
• Linking optical network equipment where polarity must be preserved
• Laboratory and test-bench setups requiring short singlemode jumper cables

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode, 9/125 µm
• OS2 classification for long-distance transmission
• Connector type: LC duplex on both ends
• Cable length: 1.5 meters
• Polarity: Twist (pre-defined duplex polarity orientation)
• Termination: Factory-terminated polished connectors for consistent performance

How to use

Route the cable between the two fiber ports ensuring the LC connectors align with the device transceiver ports. Insert each LC connector until it clicks into the adapter or port; avoid excessive bending of the fiber near the connector and along the cable run. Verify correct polarity by confirming link status on connected devices; the polarity twist arrangement is intended to match transmit and receive pairs without additional cross-over adapters. If cleaning is required, use proper fiber connector cleaning tools before mating.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Keep connector endfaces clean and protected with dust caps when not in use. For installations requiring very long runs or outdoor deployment, select appropriate outdoor-rated or armored cable variants; for panel work, use management accessories to prevent strain on the connector interfaces.
