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

The ACT Fiber patch cable duplex 10 meter LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1 with ST connectors provides a ready-made solution for full-duplex fibre connections over short to medium distances. The cable uses multimode OM1 62.5/125 µm fibre optimized for legacy multimode links and supports multimode network equipment. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor vertical and horizontal installations where safety and low-smoke emissions are required. All components are factory-assembled to provide consistent connector quality and optical performance suitable for structured cabling environments.

Advantages

The duplex design with ST connectors enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels for reliable bidirectional data transfer. The OM1 62.5/125 multimode fibre is compatible with common multimode transceivers and passive equipment, offering predictable attenuation and modal bandwidth characteristics for legacy systems. The LSZH outer jacket improves fire safety in enclosed spaces and reduces the release of halogenated compounds when exposed to heat. Pre-terminated factory connectors ensure consistent insertion loss and return loss compared with field-terminated alternatives.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode links in data centres and server rooms
• Interconnections between telecommunication racks and patch panels
• Legacy multimode network equipment and multimode transceivers
• Indoor installations where low-smoke zero-halogen cabling is required

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM1, 62.5/125 µm
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibres)
• Connector type: ST male connectors on both ends
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Length: 10 meters
• Application: Indoor structured cabling, patching, rack-to-rack connections

How to use

Connect each ST connector to the corresponding ST port on your networking equipment, ensuring correct alignment of transmit and receive channels. Route the cable following standard cable management practices to avoid tight bends or compression; maintain minimum bend radius as specified by fibre guidelines to prevent increased attenuation. For patching in racks or patch panels, label each end to match your documentation and test the link after installation with suitable fibre testers to verify insertion loss and continuity.

Recommendations

Use this multimode LSZH duplex patch cable for indoor patching and rack interconnects where fire safety and low-smoke emissions are important. Avoid outdoor exposure or direct burial and keep the cable away from high-mechanical-stress areas. When upgrading to higher-speed or longer-distance links, consider higher-grade multimode types (OM3/OM4) or singlemode fibre as appropriate for the equipment and distance requirements.
