ACT 10 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with SC connectors

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable Duplex SC Connectors 10 Meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 is a duplex singlemode optical cable designed for reliable long-distance data transmission in networking and telecommunications environments. This 10 m fiber patch cord uses SC connectors on both ends, a 9/125 µm singlemode OS2 fiber core for low attenuation, and an LSZH jacket that reduces harmful emissions in case of fire. The cable is intended for structured cabling, equipment connections in data centers, server rooms, and telecom racks where predictable optical performance and safety are required.

Advantages

The duplex SC connectors provide a secure push-pull coupling with consistent insertion loss and easy handling during installation. The 9/125 singlemode OS2 fiber core offers low attenuation and stable signal quality over long runs. The LSZH outer jacket minimizes smoke and toxic gas emission in enclosed spaces, supporting compliance with safety requirements. The 10 meter length balances reach and manageability for most indoor rack-to-rack and patch-panel connections.

Suitable for

• Data center patching and interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment links and distribution frames
• Server room backbone and cabinet-to-cabinet connections
• LAN and WAN singlemode fiber links
• Optical test setups and laboratory measurement links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode 9/125 µm (OS2)
• Connector type: Duplex SC on both ends
• Length: 10 meters
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Polish type: UPC/APC dependent on specific cable option (check product variant)
• Typical attenuation: compliant with OS2 singlemode performance for long-distance links
• Mode: Simplex paired into duplex configuration for transmit/receive

How to use

Connect each SC connector to the corresponding SC port on networking equipment or patch panels, observing transmit/receive orientation for duplex links. Route the cable along cable management trays or within cabinets to avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer recommended minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation or physical damage. Secure the cable with Velcro straps or cable ties placed loosely to avoid pinching the LSZH jacket. For testing, use an optical power meter or OTDR configured for singlemode OS2 wavelengths to verify end-to-end loss and link integrity.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fiber cable in a clean environment and avoid contaminating connector end faces; clean connectors before mating using appropriate fiber cleaning tools. When installing in enclosed or public spaces, prefer LSZH-jacketed cable to reduce smoke and toxic emission risk. Verify connector polish and ensure compatibility with equipment ports to achieve expected optical performance.
