ACT 2 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with SC connectors

The ACT 2 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable with duplex SC connectors provides a reliable optical link for high-speed data transmission. Constructed for singlemode networks, this 2 m cable uses 9/125 µm fiber optimized for long-distance and low-loss connections. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke in case of fire, making the cable appropriate for installation in enclosed or public spaces where safety requirements apply. Duplex SC connectors offer simple push-pull operation and stable performance for patch panels, switches, and optical transceivers.

Advantages

This ACT fiber patch cable combines singlemode 9/125 construction with duplex SC connectors to deliver consistent low-attenuation links suitable for telecommunications and data center environments. The LSZH outer jacket minimizes hazardous emissions and is designed for use where fire-safety regulations favor low-smoke materials. The standardized SC connector form factor supports straightforward mating in common racks and panels and helps maintain signal integrity during repeated connections.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting patch panels and optical switches in singlemode networks
• Connecting optical transceivers and routers in data centers and server rooms
• Use in office buildings, public facilities, and other enclosed spaces with fire-safety considerations
• Telecommunications backbones and fiber distribution frames

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode 9/125 µm (OS2)
• Connector type: Duplex SC connectors (push-pull)
• Length: 2 meters
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Cable format: Duplex (two fibers)
• Typical use: Singlemode optical transmission for long-distance, low-loss links

How to use

Route the ACT duplex SC fiber patch cable carefully to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for singlemode 9/125 fiber. Align and insert each SC connector into the corresponding port until it clicks into place, ensuring correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. When removing the cable, pull on the connector housing rather than the cable jacket. Keep dust caps on connectors when not in use and inspect end faces with an appropriate fiber inspection tool to prevent contamination-related signal loss.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, avoid sharp bends and crushing, and use cable management accessories such as trays and clips to secure runs. For installations in regulated or public buildings, verify that LSZH materials meet local safety codes. Regularly inspect connector end faces and clean with approved fiber cleaning tools to maintain optimal performance.
