ACT 10 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 fiber patch cable duplex withLC and SC connectors

The Fiber Patch Cable Duplex ACT 10 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 is a duplex multimode fiber patch cord designed for high-speed data links in structured cabling environments. It pairs LC and SC connectors to provide flexible termination options for equipment and patch panels. The cable core diameter is 50 µm with OM4 grading to support increased bandwidth and improved modal performance for short to medium range enterprise and data center applications. The LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, making the cable suitable for installations where safety and low-toxicity materials are required.

Advantages

This multimode fiber cable supports full duplex transmission and is optimized for high-bandwidth multimode networks. The OM4 grade allows for higher data rates and longer reach compared with lower multimode grades, improving signal integrity for 10GbE and higher parallel links over typical campus and rack environments. The LSZH outer jacket reduces harmful fumes and corrosive gases in the event of combustion, contributing to safer airflow and occupied spaces. Combining LC and SC connector types gives compatibility with a wide range of network equipment and patching infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and rack-to-rack connections
• Campus backbone and equipment room links
• High-speed Ethernet (10GbE and above) multimode links
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch patching
• Environments requiring low smoke and zero halogen cabling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm, OM4
• Configuration: Duplex
• Length: 10 meters
• Connectors: LC to SC (duplex)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Typical applications: Short to medium range high-bandwidth links

How to use

Route the fiber patch cable avoiding tight bends and abrupt kinks; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to preserve optical performance. Clean connector endfaces before insertion using appropriate fiber cleaning tools to prevent signal loss. Insert the LC and SC connectors into their corresponding ports on active equipment or patch panels until they latch securely. For duplex operation ensure correct polarity by matching transmit and receive pairs at both ends. Label both ends if necessary to simplify future maintenance and tracing.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment away from sources of mechanical stress. When deploying in plenums or areas with specific fire codes, verify that LSZH material meets local regulations. Periodically inspect and clean connectors to maintain low insertion loss and back reflection performance.
