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

The ACT 2m LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Duplex LC-SC patch cable is a 2‑meter fiber optic cable designed for singlemode networks. It features a 9/125 µm core and duplex configuration with LC and SC connectors, low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket material, and UPC polish on the end faces. Each cable is supplied with an individual test report covering insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL), and the fiber end faces are 100% inspected. The cable uses Grade A fiber and laser precision cleaving to ensure consistent optical performance.

Advantages

The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, improving safety in enclosed or mission-critical environments. UPC polish and laser-precision cleaving contribute to low insertion loss and reliable optical connections. Individual IL and RL test reports and 100% end-face inspection provide documented quality assurance for installations that require traceable performance data.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects and server rack connections
• Telecommunications links and central office equipment
• High-speed singlemode network segments requiring duplex LC to SC connections
• Environments where low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling is preferred

How to use

Route the ACT 2m patch cable between LC and SC ports, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile stress. Ensure connector end faces remain clean before mating; use appropriate dust caps or cleaning tools if needed. Insert the LC connector into LC ports and the SC connector into SC ports until a secure latch is felt. For best optical performance, verify connections using test equipment and refer to the supplied IL/RL report for baseline values.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable following standard fiber handling practices: keep bend radius within manufacturer limits, avoid crushing or kinking the fiber, and clean connectors with approved fiber cleaning tools. Use the provided test report to document network validation and troubleshoot any link issues.
