ACT 15 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors

The ACT 15 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Duplex LC SC fiber patch cable is a 15 m duplex fiber lead designed for indoor networking and telecommunications. It uses singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber to support long-distance, low-loss optical transmission. The cable is terminated with an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, enabling connection between equipment with different port types. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas emission in case of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor installations where safety and regulatory compliance are important.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable provides reliable singlemode performance with low insertion loss and high return loss characteristics suitable for optical links. The duplex configuration supports full-duplex communication for simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The LC and SC connector types offer wide compatibility with common networking devices and patch panels. The LSZH outer jacket enhances safety in enclosed spaces and helps meet building and data center fire-safety requirements.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting singlemode network equipment across racks and between rooms
• Patching optical devices with LC and SC ports in data centers
• Telecommunications links requiring OS2 fiber for low attenuation
• Indoor installations where low-smoke, zero-halogen materials are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode 9/125 µm (OS2)
• Length: 15 meters
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connectors: LC (one end) to SC (other end)
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Transmission: Full-duplex optical link

How to use

Route the cable between the two connection points without tight bends or kinks, maintaining the minimum bend radius recommended for singlemode fiber. Insert the LC connector into an LC receptacle and the SC connector into an SC adapter or port until they click or seat securely. Use proper strain-relief and cable management in racks or conduits to prevent stress on connectors. Verify the optical link with appropriate testing equipment such as an optical power meter or light source to confirm insertion loss and continuity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and protect connector end-faces from dust and contamination. Use dust caps when the cable is not connected and clean connector end-faces with approved fiber cleaning tools before mating. Follow local safety codes when installing LSZH cables in plenum or riser spaces and document link test results for maintenance records.
