ACT 10 meter LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1 fiber patch cable duplex with ST and SC connectors

The ACT 10 meter LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1 fiber patch cable duplex with ST and SC connectors is a 10 m duplex multimode patch cord designed for indoor network links that require OM1 performance. Constructed with 62.5/125 µm core/cladding multimode fibers, the cable provides standard multimode optical characteristics for short-range data transmission. The outer jacket is made from LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material to reduce toxic and corrosive gas emission in the event of fire, making it suitable for installations in enclosed or public spaces where fire safety and minimal smoke are important.

Advantages

This duplex multimode cable combines SC and ST connector interfaces to support connections between equipment with different port types without the need for additional adapters. The 62.5/125 OM1 fiber specification offers compatibility with a wide range of legacy multimode systems and active equipment commonly used in local networks. The LSZH jacket improves safety in indoor environments and helps meet stricter building or facility requirements. The 10 meter length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack, room-to-room, or equipment-to-equipment connections while maintaining consistent optical performance.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode network links in offices, server rooms, and campuses
• Connecting equipment with SC and ST fiber ports without adapters
• Indoor installations where low-smoke, non-halogen materials are required
• Legacy multimode applications and migration environments using OM1 fiber

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 62.5/125 µm (OM1)
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Connectors: SC on one end and ST on the other end
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Length: 10 meters
• Typical use: Indoor patching and equipment interconnect

How to use

Route the duplex fiber patch cable between the required patch panels, switches or equipment ports, ensuring minimum bend radius is respected to avoid signal loss. Match the transmit and receive ports correctly when connecting devices; observe connector type orientation for SC and bayonet locking for ST. Secure the cable along cable trays or routing channels to prevent strain on the connectors and keep fiber ends clean before insertion by using a suitable fiber cleaning tool. Test the link after installation with appropriate optical test equipment to confirm continuity and insertion loss are within acceptable limits for OM1 multimode installations.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment and avoid tight bends or kinks. Use dust caps on unused connectors, clean connector endfaces before mating, and follow facility fire-safety regulations when installing LSZH-jacketed cables in public or enclosed spaces.
