ACT 12 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC connectors

The ACT OS2 Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC Connectors 12 Meter is a singlemode 9/125 fiber patch cable designed for full duplex connections between network equipment. Constructed with Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material, this 12 m cable reduces toxic and corrosive gas emissions in the event of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations. Duplex LC connectors provide compact, reliable connections for high-speed data transmission in singlemode networks such as data centers, telecom links and enterprise backbone runs.

Advantages

This OS2 fiber patch cable offers low attenuation and high return loss typical of singlemode 9/125 fibers, supporting long-distance and high-bandwidth signal delivery. The duplex LC terminations are compact and standardized for easy mating with LC ports and adapter panels. The LSZH jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces by minimizing smoke and halogen emissions. The 12 meter length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment interconnects without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, routers and optical transceivers in data centers
• Patch panels and distribution frames in telecommunication rooms
• Longer indoor singlemode links requiring low-smoke cabling
• Enterprise backbone and campus fiber runs

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode OS2, 9/125 µm core/cladding
• Connector type: Duplex LC on both ends
• Length: 12 meters
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polish/termination: factory-polished connectors suitable for high-quality optical connections
• Transmission: full duplex singlemode

How to use

Route the 12 m duplex fiber along cable trays or through cable management panels, avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling tension. Remove connector dust caps and insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port or adapter until it clicks. Use separate labelled connectors for transmit and receive channels to ensure correct duplex alignment. After installation, verify link integrity and signal levels with appropriate fiber test equipment and secure excess cable with gentle loops to maintain minimum bend radius.

Recommendations

Handle LC connectors by the boot or housing, avoid touching the ferrule end face, and keep dust caps in place until the moment of connection. Maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for singlemode fiber, and use LSZH cabling in enclosed indoor environments where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required by regulation or safety policy.
