ACT 1 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC/APC8 connectors

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC/APC8 1m is a 1‑meter singlemode OS2 fiber patch lead with LSZH jacket and duplex LC/APC8 connectors. It uses Grade A 9/125 µm fiber and is designed for reliable full‑duplex high‑speed data transmission in data centres, telecom racks and other network installations. Each cable receives an individual test report for insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL), and all connector end‑faces are 100% inspected. The connectors feature APC polish and laser‑precision cleaving to ensure consistent optical performance.

Advantages

The cable provides low-loss singlemode transmission with 9 µm core fiber and APC‑polished connectors, reducing back reflections. LSZH jacket material offers low smoke and halogen‑free properties for safer indoor installations. Individual IL and RL test reports for every cable and 100% end‑face inspection ensure traceable quality and reliable optical characteristics. Laser precision cleaving and Grade A fiber contribute to consistent connector faces and signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Data centre uplinks and cross‑connects
• Telecommunications equipment and optical patch panels
• Long‑reach singlemode links and high‑speed network interconnects
• Indoor installations requiring LSZH jacket

How to use

Route the patch cable between LC/APC ports on compatible transceivers, patch panels or network devices, ensuring connector orientation matches the duplex port labels. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable with appropriate management accessories to maintain minimum bend radius recommended for singlemode fiber. Connectors are APC polished—align and insert gently until fully seated to achieve optimal optical contact.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, keep connector dust caps on until installation, and use proper cleaning tools if end‑face contamination is suspected. Follow vendor guidelines for minimum bend radius and connector mating cycles to maintain performance and longevity.
