ACT 3 meter Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Polarity Twist fiber cable with LC connectors

The ACT 3 meter Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Polarity Twist fiber cable with LC connectors is a singlemode optical patch cable designed for reliable long-distance data transmission. The cable uses a 9 µm core diameter fiber conforming to OS2 singlemode specifications and comes terminated with LC connectors on both ends. Its 3 meter length and polarity twist feature provide flexibility in managing connections in rack, data center, and telecommunication environments.

Advantages

The singlemode 9/125 core minimizes attenuation and dispersion for long-reach links while the OS2 rating ensures low-loss performance for indoor and outdoor backbone runs. LC connectors offer a compact form factor and stable mechanical alignment for precise mating. The polarity twist design simplifies connector orientation and polarity management without additional adapters, reducing installation time and potential connection errors.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Category: OS2
• Connector type: LC to LC (2x LC on each end)
• Length: 3 meters
• Polarity: Twist polarity configuration
• Typical application: Long-distance, high-speed optical links

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and clean if necessary using approved fiber cleaning tools. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and maintain the manufacturer's minimum bend radius. Connect LC connectors to corresponding LC ports on transceivers or patch panels, ensuring proper mating and secure latching. If polarity twist is required, orient the connectors according to the network polarity scheme and verify signal continuity with a visual fault locator or power meter after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to avoid excessive bending and tensile stress. Use cable management accessories such as trays or rings to maintain minimum bend radii and prevent microbending losses. For critical links, perform insertion loss and return loss measurements after installation and document test results for maintenance records.
