ACT 3 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 fiber patch cable duplex with LC connectors

The ACT Fiber patch cable duplex 3 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 provides a ready-made optical link for short-to-medium distance connections. Equipped with duplex LC connectors it supports full-duplex communication and is designed for use in data centers, server rooms and office networks where multimode fiber with OM4 performance is required. The 50/125 µm core/cladding profile and OM4 grading enable higher bandwidth and improved modal performance compared with earlier multimode types, while the LSZH outer jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gases in case of fire.

Advantages

This multimode fiber cable combines duplex LC connectivity with OM4 performance, offering increased bandwidth and low insertion loss for high-speed links. The LSZH jacket provides enhanced safety in enclosed or public environments by emitting minimal smoke and no halogenated gases under combustion. The pre-terminated construction ensures consistent connector quality and faster deployment compared with field-terminated fiber, reducing installation time and potential errors.

Suitable for

• Short-range data center interconnects and server-to-switch links
• Office network backbone and horizontal cabling within buildings
• High-speed applications such as 10GbE, 40GbE and Fibre Channel over multimode at supported distances
• Environments requiring low-smoke zero-halogen cabling for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: Duplex LC to Duplex LC
• Length: 3 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polish/type: Standard multimode polished connectors suitable for optical transceivers

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports before insertion to ensure cleanliness and integrity. Align the duplex LC connector with the matching duplex port and push until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. For removal, depress the latch and pull the connector straight out. Use appropriate dust caps when connectors are not in use and clean endfaces with a suitable fiber-cleaning tool if optical performance is degraded.

Recommendations

Use in patch panels or horizontal cabling runs inside buildings and data centers; avoid external exposure to weather and direct sunlight. Follow standard fiber handling procedures: keep connections clean, avoid excessive pulling force, and do not exceed the recommended bend radius. For safety compliance in occupied spaces, specify LSZH cabling where low smoke and low toxicity are required.
