ACT 10 meter LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1 fiber patch cable duplex with LC connectors

The ACT Fiber patch cable duplex 10 meter LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1 provides a straightforward solution for linking network equipment over short to medium distances. Equipped with duplex LC connectors and a multimode OM1 core (62.5/125 µm), this fiber cable is designed for reliable transmission in data centers, telecom rooms and office networks. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket reduces the release of corrosive and toxic gases in the event of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where safety and regulatory compliance are important.

Advantages

This multimode fiber patch cable delivers consistent optical performance with low attenuation across short-range links, and the duplex LC connectors enable simple two-fiber connections for full-duplex communication. The LSZH outer jacket offers improved fire safety characteristics compared with standard PVC jackets. The cable’s 10 meter length balances reach and manageability for common rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and servers in racks and cabinets
• Patch panels and fiber distribution frames in data centers
• LAN backbone segments and campus network links over short distances
• Office and communications rooms where low-smoke cabling is required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM1 (62.5/125 µm)
• Connector type: Duplex LC to LC
• Length: 10 metres
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Application: Short-range multimode optical links, full-duplex data transmission

How to use

Verify that both ends of the duplex LC cable match the transceiver or adapter orientations on your devices, ensuring the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) pairs align correctly. Gently insert each LC connector into the corresponding adapter or transceiver until it clicks, avoiding excessive force. Route the cable with gentle bends and secure with appropriate cable management to prevent stress on connectors; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius. For best performance, keep connectors clean and protected with dust caps when not in use and inspect endfaces for contamination before installation.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this OM1 multimode cable on short-distance links (typically within the same room or between adjacent rooms). When higher bandwidth or longer reach is required, consider using higher-grade multimode (OM3/OM4) or singlemode fiber as appropriate. Regularly inspect and clean LC connector endfaces and follow site fire-safety regulations that reference LSZH cabling requirements.
