ACT 20 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors

The ACT 20 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 Duplex LC SC fiber patch cable provides a 20 m link for indoor network connections where multimode OM3 performance and low-smoke, halogen-free construction are required. The duplex design supports bidirectional multimode transmission with one LC connector on one end and one SC connector on the other, enabling simple integration between equipment with different port types. The cable is designed for data center, server room and enterprise LAN installations that need reliable multimode links over a moderate distance.

Advantages

The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire, making the cable suitable for enclosed spaces and public buildings. OM3 multimode fiber supports high-speed short-range transmission and is optimized for 850 nm VCSEL-based equipment, offering improved bandwidth compared with older multimode categories. Duplex termination with LC and SC connectors provides flexibility to connect devices with different port types without additional adapters, while the 20 m length covers typical runs between racks, patch panels and active equipment.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm OM3
• Length: 20 meters
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connectors: LC on one end, SC on the other end
• Optimized wavelength: 850 nm (VCSEL)

How to use

Route the cable along designated cable trays or underfloor pathways, avoiding tight bends and excessive tension. Insert the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port of the respective devices or patch panels until they click into place. For best optical performance, keep connector endfaces clean using appropriate fiber cleaning tools and protective dust caps when connectors are not in use. Test the link with suitable optical equipment after installation to verify attenuation and continuity.
