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

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable Duplex SC 15m RL3915 is a 15‑metre singlemode fiber patch lead designed for indoor network installations. It uses 9/125 µm OS2 fibers with SC connectors on both ends in a duplex configuration, providing stable, high‑speed optical links suitable for data centers, telecom racks and structured cabling systems. The cable jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), reducing toxic and corrosive gas emissions in case of fire and making the cable appropriate for closed environments where safety is a priority.

Advantages

The duplex SC connectors offer reliable mechanical coupling and straightforward polarity management, while singlemode OS2 fiber supports long-reach transmission with low attenuation. The 15 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections without excess slack. The LSZH jacket improves onsite safety and reduces the risk of damage from environmental contaminants, and the cable construction is aimed at consistent optical performance and durability for repeated plug cycles.

Suitable for

• Connecting optical transceivers and patch panels in data centers
• Linking telecom equipment in central offices and server rooms
• Structured cabling backbones and cross‑connects
• Indoor installations where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode, 9/125 µm
• Application-grade: OS2 (optimized for long distance)
• Connector type: Duplex SC on both ends
• Length: 15 metres
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polish type: Typically UPC/APC depending on variant (confirm before deployment)
• Operating environment: Indoor, rack and cabinet installations

How to use

Route the duplex SC fiber cable between the desired equipment ports or patch panel positions, ensuring bend radii comply with the manufacturer’s limits to avoid excess attenuation. Align and insert SC connectors firmly into the corresponding sockets until they click; verify correct polarity where transmit and receive pairs are matched. After installation, secure the cable along cable management paths to prevent strain on connectors and maintain labeled ends to simplify future maintenance and testing.

Recommendations

Handle the fiber ends with care and keep protective caps on connectors when not in use. Perform optical loss testing after installation to confirm link performance and follow local fire and building codes for LSZH material usage in enclosed spaces.
