ACT 20 meter Singlemode 9/125 OS2 duplex ruggedized fiber cable with LC connectors

The ACT 20 meter Singlemode 9/125 OS2 duplex ruggedized fiber cable with LC connectors is designed for long-distance, high-performance optical communication. It uses 9 µm core singlemode fibers in a duplex configuration to support full-duplex data transmission and is built for durability in demanding environments. Each cable is delivered with a unique test report verifying insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL), and all connector end-faces are 100% inspected. The cable uses Grade A fiber and UPC polish on the connectors.

Advantages

This Singlemode Fiber Cable provides measured IL and RL values for each unit, ensuring predictable optical performance. Laser-precision cleaving and 100% end-face inspection reduce connection losses and reflections. The use of Grade A fiber and UPC-polished LC connectors supports consistent low-loss, low-reflection links suitable for long-distance OS2 applications. Ruggedized construction increases mechanical durability for installation and field use.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the duplex cable between equipment ports that accept LC connectors, ensuring correct orientation for transmit and receive channels. Clean connector end-faces before mating and verify that connectors are fully seated in LC ports. Use the supplied test report to confirm IL and RL values during installation and perform a post-installation verification if required. Avoid sharp bends and protect the cable from crush and tension beyond the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Recommendations

Handle LC connectors by the boot or ferrule holder and use approved fiber cleaning tools before each connection. Maintain a minimum bend radius consistent with singlemode fiber specifications and store unused connectors with dust caps to preserve UPC-polished end-face quality.
