ACT 4 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 fiber patch cable duplex with LC connectors

The ACT OM3 Fiber Patch Cable 4m Duplex with LC connectors is a multimode 50/125 µm fiber link designed for high-speed short-range networks. The 4 meter length and duplex LC terminations provide a ready-to-use connection for full-duplex data transmission between active network equipment, patch panels and transceivers. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and eliminates halogen emissions in case of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor installations where safety and low-toxicity materials are required.

Advantages

This OM3 fiber patch cable supports higher modal bandwidth than standard multimode types, enabling reliable transmission for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other short-reach optical applications. Duplex LC connectors offer a compact footprint and stable mating for rack-mounted optics and patch panels. The LSZH outer jacket improves installation safety in enclosed spaces while the 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry maintains compatibility with common multimode transceivers and active devices.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects and rack-to-rack links
• Office backbone cabling and horizontal runs
• Connection between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet and multimode optical links

Key specifications

• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Length: 4 meters
• Connector type: Duplex LC to Duplex LC
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polish/type: UPC/APC compatibility depends on connectors used (factory-terminated LC duplex)
• Transmission: Full duplex multimode optical link

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or damage before connecting. Align each LC connector with the corresponding duplex LC port on equipment or patch panels and insert until it clicks to ensure secure mating. Use proper bend radii when routing the cable to avoid exceeding the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. For removal, depress the LC latch and pull straight out to avoid stressing the fiber. When installing in permanent pathways, secure the cable with clips or ties designed for fiber to prevent excessive pulling or crushing.

Recommendations

Store and handle the OM3 duplex cable in a clean environment; use dust caps on connectors when not in use. For optimal performance in 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed multimode applications, verify transceiver compatibility and follow standard fiber testing procedures (insertion loss and return loss) after installation.
