ACT 2.5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 fiber patch cable duplex with LC connectors

The ACT 2.5m LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 Duplex LC fiber patch cable provides a reliable optical link for short- to medium-range network connections. Its 50/125 µm multimode OM3 fiber supports high-speed data transmission in full duplex configurations via duplex LC connectors. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and hazardous gases in the event of fire, making the cable suitable for use in confined or populated indoor spaces such as data centres, server rooms and offices.

Advantages

This duplex LC multimode cable offers low insertion loss and consistent optical performance across multimode OM3 specifications. The 2.5 meter length balances flexibility and reach for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel connections. An LSZH outer jacket provides enhanced safety characteristics compared with standard PVC sheathing, while the LC connectors deliver a compact form factor compatible with common transceivers and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between network switches, servers and patch panels in data centres
• Fiber links in office LANs and telecommunication closets
• Short-range high-bandwidth applications using multimode optics
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: Duplex LC on both ends
• Length: 2.5 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Mode: Full duplex

How to use

Route the cable between the two desired optical ports ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port until it clicks into place; ensure correct orientation for duplex pairing. Avoid tight bends and maintain the cable’s minimum bend radius during installation. When disconnecting, depress the latch on the LC connector and pull straight out to avoid stress on the ferrule and fiber.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, clean connector endfaces with an appropriate fiber cleaning tool prior to installation, secure the cable to racks or trays to prevent strain, and avoid routing near sources of electromagnetic interference. Verify link performance with an optical tester after installation to confirm insertion loss and continuity meet system requirements.
