ACT 2.5 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC connectors

The ACT OS2 Fiber Patch Cable 2.5m Duplex LC Connectors is a singlemode 9/125 fiber optic cable designed for reliable, long-distance data transmission. With a 2.5 meter length and duplex LC terminations, the cable supports full-duplex connections between network equipment in data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications racks. Constructed with a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, the cable reduces toxic fumes and dense smoke in the event of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where safety standards require halogen-free materials.

Advantages

This OS2 fiber patch cable provides low attenuation and consistent signal quality over long runs due to the 9/125 µm singlemode core. Duplex LC connectors ensure compact, reliable mating with equipment that uses LC ports, while the 2.5 m length offers a balance between reach and cable management in typical rack and cabinet layouts. The LSZH jacket reduces the release of corrosive and toxic gases during combustion, and the cable's construction supports predictable performance in standard commercial and industrial environments.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode 9/125 µm (OS2)
• Length: 2.5 m
• Connector type: Duplex LC to Duplex LC
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polish/termination: Factory-terminated LC connectors for standard insertion loss performance
• Operation: Full duplex optical transmission

How to use

Route the cable avoiding tight bends and pressure points; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for singlemode fiber when installing through racks, trays, or conduit. Align and insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port on transceivers, patch panels, or switches until the latch clicks. Verify bi-directional connectivity and optical power levels with appropriate test equipment after installation. When removing the cable, press the LC latch and pull straight out to avoid stress on the fiber.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment and use dust caps on LC connectors when not connected. Avoid exceeding the cable's bend radius and protect connections from mechanical strain; perform optical loss tests if the link is critical for network performance. For installations in high-traffic or public spaces, prefer routing inside conduits or cable management channels to maintain LSZH safety benefits.
