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

The ACT 2 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 fiber patch cable with duplex LC connectors is designed for short- to medium-range optical connections in structured cabling, data centers and telecommunication racks. The cable uses 50/125 µm multimode fiber (OM2) to support high-speed data transmission between servers, switches and patch panels while LSZH jacket material reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. The duplex LC connectors provide a compact, snap-in interface for reliable mating and alignment in high-density installations.

Advantages

This multimode fiber patch cable combines a standardized OM2 core size with durable LSZH outer sheath to offer predictable signal performance and improved safety in enclosed spaces. The duplex LC terminations ensure low insertion loss and straightforward polarity management, while the 2 meter length balances flexibility and neat routing for equipment-to-equipment connections. The cable construction provides sufficient bend tolerance and mechanical protection for repeated moves and reconfigurations.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, patch panels and servers in data centers
• Horizontal cabling runs within telecom closets and equipment racks
• Short-distance links in SAN, enterprise LAN and campus networks
• High-density rack installations requiring compact duplex LC connectors

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm (OM2)
• Connector type: Duplex LC on both ends
• Cable length: 2 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Typical use: Short- to medium-range optical links
• Bend performance: Suitable for standard installation bend radii

How to use

Route the fiber patch cable between the two intended ports, avoiding sharp bends and high-compression pinch points. Before insertion, inspect and, if necessary, clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools to minimize insertion loss. Align the duplex LC connector with the transceiver or adapter and gently push until it clicks to secure the connection. Manage excess cable length with cable organizers or velcro straps to maintain proper bend radii.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable by the connector body or the jacket; do not pull on the fiber itself. Maintain bend radii recommended for multimode fiber and keep LC endfaces protected with dust caps when not connected. For installations in public or confined spaces where fire-safety is a concern, select LSZH-jacketed cables such as this model to reduce smoke and toxic gas output in the event of a fire.
