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

The ACT 3m LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Duplex LC SC fiber patch cable provides reliable singlemode connectivity for indoor networking. With a 9 µm core diameter and OS2 rating, the cable is intended for high-performance optical transmission over longer distances. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen release, making the cable suitable for installations where low toxicity and low smoke are required. The cable features duplex configuration with 2x LC and 2x SC connectors and is delivered with inspection and test documentation for each cable.

Advantages

Each cable is quality-checked with an individual test report for insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) and includes 100% end-face inspection. Connectors are cleaved with laser precision and polished to UPC standard on Grade A fiber, ensuring low loss and stable connections. The LSZH jacket adds safety for indoor environments and the duplex LC–SC configuration supports common singlemode networking equipment.

How to use

Inspect connector end-faces before installation using an appropriate fiber inspection tool and refer to the supplied test report for baseline performance. Connect the LC and SC ends to matching ports on networking equipment ensuring correct polarity for duplex links. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fiber patch cable in clean conditions to avoid contamination of connector end-faces. Re-inspect and clean connectors if performance deviates from the supplied test results. Use the LSZH cable in indoor environments where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required.
