ACT 10 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and ST connectors

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC ST 10m is a 10‑metre singlemode fiber patch cord with 9/125 µm OS2 fiber and duplex LC to ST connectors. Designed for indoor networking and telecommunications, the cable supports full‑duplex optical links and high‑speed data transmission over long distances. The outer jacket is made from LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) material to reduce harmful emissions in contained environments and to meet safety requirements for installations in data centers, comms rooms, and office buildings.

Advantages

This singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable delivers low insertion loss and consistent optical performance suitable for long‑reach connections. Duplex LC and ST connectors provide compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment and patch panels. The LSZH jacket improves fire safety by emitting minimal smoke and no halogenated gases when exposed to heat. The 10 m length offers flexible routing options without excessive slack, making it practical for racks, cabinets, and wall‑mounted panels.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and optical transceivers in data centers
• Patch panel to equipment links in telecommunications racks
• Longer indoor runs between network distribution points
• Environments requiring low‑smoke, zero‑halogen cabling

How to use

Route the cable between the two endpoints ensuring bend radii are not exceeded and that the cable is secured to avoid strain on the connectors. Clean connector endfaces before mating to minimize insertion loss and back reflections. Insert the duplex LC connector into the LC receptacle and the ST connector into the corresponding ST port, observing correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. If using patch panels or enclosures, use appropriate cable management to maintain organized runs and prevent tight bends.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in environments within the manufacturer's recommended temperature and humidity ranges, avoid tight bends (maintain minimum bend radius), and use fiber‑grade cleaning tools for connector maintenance. For critical links, verify signal loss with an optical power meter or OTDR after installation.
