ACT 10 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 fiber patch cable duplex with LC connectors

The ACT fiber patch cable duplex 10 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 provides a factory-terminated duplex connection with LC connectors for reliable short- and medium-range optical links. Designed for high-speed networking, the multimode OM3 grade supports laser-optimized transceivers and is suitable for data center and enterprise backbone links. The LSZH jacket reduces harmful smoke and halogen emission in case of fire, improving safety in enclosed or occupied spaces.

Advantages

This duplex fiber patch cable combines OM3 multimode performance with LC duplex connectors, offering low insertion loss and consistent optical performance for multimode laser applications. The LSZH outer jacket limits smoke and corrosive gas release, meeting strict safety requirements in commercial and public buildings. Pre-terminated and tested at the factory, the cable simplifies installation and reduces onsite termination errors while ensuring predictable signal characteristics over its 10 meter length.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects and patch panels
• Enterprise network backbones and server racks
• High-speed short-reach multimode links (10G, 40G with appropriate transceivers)
• Environments requiring low-smoke, low-halogen cabling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm OM3
• Connector type: LC duplex to LC duplex (pre-terminated)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Length: 10 meters
• Mode: Duplex, full duplex transmission support
• Typical applications: Short- to medium-reach multimode optical links

How to use

Route the cable between equipment or patch panels ensuring minimum bend radius is maintained to avoid increased attenuation. Insert the LC duplex connectors into the corresponding LC ports, observing correct polarity for transmit and receive paths. Use cable management accessories such as trays or ties to secure the cable and prevent strain on termination points. Verify link integrity with appropriate test equipment or by confirming network link lights and expected throughput once connected.

Recommendations

Maintain a bend radius at least 10 times the cable diameter, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force during installation, and store unused cable neatly coiled. Choose OM3-compatible optics for optimal performance and follow site safety rules for LSZH cabling in sensitive areas.
