ACT 20 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors

The ACT 20 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 Duplex LC SC fiber patch cable provides a 20 m duplex link designed for short-range high-speed networks. It uses 50/125 µm multimode fiber with OM2 performance and terminated with LC and SC connectors in a duplex configuration to support full duplex communication between devices. The cable jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), which limits toxic fume and smoke output in case of fire and is suitable for indoor installations where safety regulations require reduced emissions.

Advantages

This multimode fiber patch cable delivers reliable signal transmission for typical data center and office equipment connections, with OM2 core size for common multimode applications. The duplex LC to SC termination provides compatibility with a wide range of network panels, switches and transceivers. The LSZH jacket reduces the release of corrosive gases and smoke during combustion, improving safety in enclosed spaces. A 20 meter length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or room-to-room runs without additional splices or couplers.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, patch panels and optical transceivers within data centers
• Office LAN backbone runs and equipment room cabling
• Patch connections between fiber distribution frames and network devices
• Short to medium multimode links where OM2 performance is sufficient

How to use

Route the cable along designated cable pathways or cable management trays to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress. Insert the LC duplex end and the SC duplex end into their respective ports on transceivers, patch panels or active devices, making sure connectors align and latch securely. Verify link status on network equipment and perform optical testing if required to confirm insertion loss and link integrity. When installing, maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius and avoid kinking the fiber to preserve performance.

Recommendations

For best results, use this OM2 multimode cable for connections within the same building or between adjacent rooms and racks. Avoid outdoor exposure or direct burial; select appropriate fiber types and outdoor-rated jackets for those environments. Clean connector endfaces before mating and use dust caps when unused to prevent contamination and signal loss.
