ACT 2 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and ST connectors

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC ST 2m RL7902 is a 2‑meter singlemode fiber optic patch cable designed for indoor network connections. Constructed with 9/125 µm OS2 singlemode fiber and a duplex configuration, it pairs LC and ST connectors to provide reliable, high‑speed optical links. The cable jacket is low smoke zero halogen (LSZH), reducing toxic fumes and smoke in case of fire and making the cable suitable for use in enclosed spaces and data center racks. The duplex arrangement supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels for full duplex communication between network devices.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable offers low attenuation and stable signal transmission appropriate for long‑reach singlemode links. The LSZH jacket enhances safety for indoor environments and meets common requirements for installations where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are necessary. The combination of LC and ST connectors provides compatibility with a wide range of network equipment and patch panels. Its duplex design ensures straightforward connection of transmit and receive channels without additional adapters.

How to use

Route the 2 m fiber patch cable between the LC port on one device and the ST port on the other device, ensuring correct alignment of transmit and receive channels. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for singlemode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Secure the cable in cable management brackets or trays to reduce strain on connectors and to maintain a neat installation. Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before mating and use appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean, dry environment. For best performance, clean connector endfaces before each connection, avoid repeated mating cycles beyond manufacturer guidelines, and maintain gentle cable bends to preserve optical performance in singlemode installations.
