ACT 15 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors

The ACT 15 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors is designed for high-speed short-range optical links. The cable uses multimode OM4 fiber with a 50 µm core diameter to support increased bandwidth and reliable signal transmission for data center and campus networks. The LSZH outer jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas emission in the event of fire, making the cable appropriate for indoor installations where safety standards are important.

Advantages

The duplex construction provides simultaneous transmit and receive channels in a single assembly, simplifying cable management and reducing connector clutter. OM4 multimode fiber offers improved modal bandwidth and lower attenuation for short to medium distances compared with earlier multimode grades. The combination of LC and SC connectors allows flexible connectivity to a wide range of networking equipment, while the LSZH jacket increases safety in enclosed spaces. The 15 meter length balances reach and manageability for typical rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections.

Suitable for

• Data center patching between switches, servers and patch panels
• Telecommunications room connections and fiber patch panels
• Campus and building backbone links for short to medium distances
• High-density networking environments requiring LC and SC compatibility

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4, core/cladding 50/125 µm
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Connectors: LC (one end) to SC (other end) — duplex assembly
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Length: 15 meters
• Typical applications: Short-range high-bandwidth optical links in indoor environments

How to use

Identify the transmit and receive ports on the networking devices and match them with the corresponding ends of the duplex cable. Connect the LC connector to equipment or patch panel ports that accept LC interfaces and insert the SC connector into SC ports or adapters. Route the cable through cable management channels or trays to avoid tight bends; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. For best performance, keep connectors clean and use appropriate dust caps when not in use.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in protected, dry indoor environments and avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme mechanical stress. Use fiber cleaning tools before making connections and verify link integrity with suitable testing equipment after installation. Follow building safety codes for LSZH cabling in areas where low smoke emissions are required.
