ACT 3 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC connectors

The ACT 3 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 duplex LC fiber patch cable is a pre-terminated duplex fiber lead designed for short- to medium-range high-speed network links. Constructed with multimode 50/125 µm OM2 fiber and fitted with LC duplex connectors, the cable supports reliable optical transmission and low insertion loss for enterprise, data center and telecom indoor cabling. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emissions in the event of fire, meeting safety requirements for enclosed spaces and shared facilities.

Advantages

This multimode OM2 duplex cable delivers consistent performance for Gigabit and some 10 Gigabit applications over shorter distances while keeping signal attenuation low. The LC connectors provide a compact duplex connection with secure mating and wide industry compatibility. The LSZH outer jacket enhances safety for indoor installations by emitting minimal smoke and no halogenated gases under thermal stress. The 3 meter length offers convenient reach between racks, switches and patch panels without excess cable management complexity.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches, servers and transceivers in data centers
• Horizontal and equipment room cabling in office and telecom environments
• Fiber patch panels and enclosure-to-equipment links
• Short-reach multimode links requiring LC duplex termination

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm (OM2)
• Connector type: Duplex LC to Duplex LC
• Length: 3 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polish/connector finish: UPC/PC (industry-standard for low back-reflection) — verify on product labeling
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)

How to use

Route the cable between the two equipment ports that require an optical connection, ensuring the LC connectors are clean and free of dust or debris prior to insertion. Align each LC duplex plug with the corresponding duplex receptacle and insert until a positive click indicates engagement. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Secure excess cable length within a patch panel or cable management tray to reduce strain on connectors and fiber.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean LC connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before each connection. Use this OM2 multimode cable for short- to medium-range links and verify transceiver compatibility for target data rates. Store coiled cables without tight kinks and follow rack and cable management best practices to preserve optical performance and physical integrity.
