ACT 3 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC/APC8 and SC/APC8 connectors

The ACT 3 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 duplex fiber patch cable with LC/APC8 and SC/APC8 connectors provides low-loss optical transmission for high-speed networks. Constructed from low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket material and a 9 µm singlemode core, the cable supports full duplex communication and is suitable for installations where reduced smoke and halogen-free materials are required. Each cable is supplied with an individual test report covering insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL), and end-faces are 100% inspected to ensure connector quality.

Advantages

Laser-precision cleaving and APC polish deliver consistent end-face geometry and improved return loss performance. Grade A fiber and individual IL/RL test reports ensure predictable optical characteristics and traceable quality. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire, making the cable suitable for use in confined or public spaces.

Suitable for

• High-speed telecom and data center links
• FTTx and building backbone installations
• Environments requiring LSZH-rated cabling (public buildings, transport hubs)
• Full duplex optical connections between active equipment

Key specifications

• Length: 3 m
• Fiber type: Singlemode 9/125 µm (OS2)
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connectors: LC/APC8 to SC/APC8
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Quality control: Individual IL and RL test report; 100% end-face inspection

How to use

Install the patch cable between compatible LC/APC and SC/APC ports on networking equipment, transceivers or patch panels. Ensure connectors are clean before mating; remove protective caps and align connector keys with adapter slots. Avoid tight bends and pulling on the cable jacket; route the cable through appropriate cable management to maintain minimum bend radius and protect the fiber.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; use fiber-grade cleaning tools for connector end-faces and verify link performance after installation using the provided IL/RL test report. Do not expose the LSZH jacket to open flames or prolonged high temperatures.
