ACT 15 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 fiber patch cable duplex with LC connectors

The ACT 15 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 Duplex LC fiber patch cable provides a 15 m link between network devices using OM3 multimode fiber and duplex LC connectors. Constructed with a low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket, the cable reduces toxic and corrosive gas emission in the event of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where fire safety and regulatory compliance are important. The OM3 50/125 core/cladding geometry supports high-bandwidth multimode transmissions for typical data center, server room and LAN applications.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable combines OM3 multimode performance with compact duplex LC connectors to deliver reliable short- to medium-range optical links. The LSZH outer jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces by lowering smoke and halogen release. Duplex LC termination ensures easy polarity management and dense port usage on switches, transceivers and patch panels. The 15 m length offers flexibility to connect equipment across racks, cabinets and office layouts without additional couplers.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers, switches and transceivers in data centers and server rooms
• Horizontal cabling between network closets and office floors
• Fiber patching on MPO/LC breakout panels and optical distribution frames
• High-speed multimode links for 10GbE and other short-range optical networks

• Length: 15 meters
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Polish/termination: Factory-terminated duplex connectors for plug-and-play use
• Compatibility: Designed for multimode transceivers and networking equipment supporting LC interfaces

How to use

Route the 15 m duplex LC fiber patch cable between the LC ports of the source and destination devices, observing bend radius limits and avoiding sharp kinks. Ensure dust caps are removed just before insertion and keep unused connectors covered to prevent contamination. Verify connector polarity and secure cable routing with appropriate cable management to prevent strain on terminations. Test the link using appropriate fiber test equipment or rely on connected devices to confirm optical signal and network link status.

Recommendations

Handle connectors by the housing, keep end faces clean with proper fiber cleaning tools, and maintain a minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer to preserve performance. Use LSZH cabling in areas with ventilation or fire-safety requirements and avoid exposing the cable to excessive heat or mechanical stress.
