ACT 30 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 fiber patch cable duplex with LC connectors

The ACT 30 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 fiber patch cable with duplex LC connectors is designed for high-speed indoor networks and data centre links. With a 50 µm core diameter and OM4 multimode specification, the cable supports high bandwidth and modal performance for applications requiring reliable short- to medium-range optical transmission. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and hazardous gas emission in case of fire, making this patch cable appropriate for installations in enclosed or public spaces where safety considerations are important.

Advantages

This multimode OM4 cable offers improved bandwidth over lower-grade multimode fibres, enabling higher data rates and extended reach for 10 Gigabit and higher Ethernet in enterprise and data centre environments. Duplex LC connectors provide compact, standardized terminations for dense patch panels and transceiver modules. The LSZH outer jacket adds an extra layer of safety for indoor deployments, and the factory-polished connectors ensure consistent optical performance and low insertion loss.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects and server racks
• High-speed enterprise LANs and campus networks
• Patch panels and optical distribution frames (ODF)
• Short- to medium-range fiber links for storage and computing

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4, 50/125 µm core/cladding
• Length: 30 meter
• Connector type: Duplex LC to LC
• Cable jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Configuration: Duplex (full duplex communication)
• Typical use: Indoor patching and rack connections

How to use

Install the cable by connecting each LC connector to the appropriate LC port on transceivers, switches, patch panels or equipment, ensuring correct polarity for duplex links. Route the cable through cable management rings or trays to avoid tight bends and maintain the manufacturer's minimum bend radius. Avoid excessive pulling force during installation and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. For best optical performance, keep connector endfaces clean and inspect or clean them with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating.

Recommendations

Use this OM4 LSZH duplex LC patch cable for indoor environments where higher modal bandwidth is required and fire-safety regulations favor low-smoke, halogen-free materials. Store and handle the cable according to standard fiber-optic practices: avoid crushing, kinking, and prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures. Periodically inspect connectors and replace the cable if physical damage or persistent signal issues are observed.
