ACT 30 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and ST connectors

The ACT 30 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and ST connectors is a 30 m indoor duplex fiber patch lead designed for singlemode OS2 networks. It combines LC and ST terminations to link equipment with mixed connector types and supports full duplex transmission over a 9/125 µm core/cladding geometry. The outer sheath is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), reducing toxic and corrosive gas emissions in the event of fire and making the cable suitable for indoor and enclosed-space installations such as data centers and telecom rooms.

Advantages

This duplex singlemode cable provides stable high-speed optical connections with minimal insertion loss when used as intended in OS2 singlemode environments. The combination of LC and ST connectors offers flexibility for connecting devices with different ports without additional adapters. The LSZH jacket enhances safety for indoor installations by emitting less smoke and halogenated gases in a fire scenario. The 30 meter length addresses medium-distance linking requirements within buildings and networking facilities.

Suitable for

• Connecting optical equipment in data centers and server rooms
• Linking telecom racks, patch panels and optical transceivers with LC or ST ports
• Indoor backbone or horizontal runs where singlemode OS2 fiber is required
• Environments requiring low-smoke, low-halogen cabling for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Length: 30 meters
• Fiber type: Singlemode 9/125 µm
• Performance class: OS2
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connectors: LC to ST (duplex)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

How to use

Route the duplex fiber cable along cable management paths or trays, avoiding sharp bends and maintaining the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for singlemode fiber. Connect the LC and ST ends to the corresponding ports on transceivers, patch panels or network devices, ensuring clean connector endfaces before mating to minimise insertion loss and back reflection. Secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors and avoid kinks; when routing through ducts or trays use appropriate bend protection at entry and exit points.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean connector endfaces with approved fiber cleaning tools before each connection. Do not exceed recommended bend radius, and store the cable coiled without tight loops. For long-term installations in critical infrastructure, test end-to-end attenuation and verify link performance after installation to confirm compliance with OS2 singlemode requirements.
