ACT 2 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC SC 2m LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 is a 2‑meter duplex fiber patch lead designed for short to medium reach multimode applications. It combines LC connector on one end and SC connector on the other to connect switches, patch panels and transceivers in data centres, telecom rooms and enterprise networks. The 50/125 µm OM2 multimode core is suited to legacy and current multimode equipment and supports full duplex communication for simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The jacket is manufactured from LSZH material to reduce smoke and harmful gas emissions in the event of fire, making the cable appropriate for indoor installations with safety requirements.

Advantages

The duplex LC–SC configuration provides compatibility with common network hardware while keeping a compact LC footprint on one end. Multimode 50/125 OM2 construction enables reliable short‑range performance and simple connector mating for fast deployment. The 2 m length balances flexibility and cable management for rack and cabinet environments. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen output for improved safety in confined indoor spaces and public buildings. Full duplex capability ensures simultaneous bi‑directional data flow, improving link efficiency when used with appropriate ports and transceivers.

Suitable for

• Interconnect between patch panels and network switches in data centres and wiring closets
• Connecting multimode transceivers to network equipment over short to medium distances
• Campus and enterprise LAN links within buildings where LSZH safety standards are required
• Audio‑visual and broadcast installations using multimode fibre

How to use

Route the 2 m fiber patch cable between the LC port and the SC port on the respective devices, ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Align the duplex LC and SC connectors with their mating adapters and push until they click or lock into place; avoid excessive bending of the fiber and respect the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment manufacturer. When disconnecting, depress any latch mechanism and pull the connector straight out to prevent damage. Store unused ends with protective dust caps to maintain connector endface cleanliness.

Recommendations

Use a fiber inspection scope and approved cleaning tools before connecting. Maintain gentle cable routing inside cabinets and trays, avoid sharp bends, and secure the cable with Velcro or cable ties that do not compress the jacket. Choose OM2 multimode cabling for existing multimode infrastructure or shorter links; for longer distances or higher bandwidth demands, evaluate higher graded multimode (OM3/OM4) or single‑mode alternatives.
