ACT 40 meter Singlemode 9/125 OS2 duplex ruggedized fiber cable with LC connectors

The ACT 40m Singlemode OS2 duplex ruggedized fiber cable with LC connectors is designed for durable, long-distance data transmission. It features a 9/125 µm core-cladding structure and two LC connectors on each end to support full duplex communication. The cable is suitable for outdoor and harsh environments where flexibility and mechanical protection are required, and each unit is supplied with quality checks including individual test reports for insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL), as well as 100% end-face inspection.

Advantages

This OS2 duplex fiber cable combines ruggedized construction with laser-precision cleaving and UPC polish for consistent optical performance. Grade A fiber ensures low attenuation and reliable signal integrity over long runs. Each cable is delivered with an individual IL and RL test report and has had its connector end-faces fully inspected, providing traceable quality assurance for critical installations.

Suitable for

• Outdoor fiber links and campus backbone connections
• Telecommunications and long-distance data transmission
• Industrial and harsh-environment networking
• Full duplex LC-to-LC connections for singlemode networks

How to use

Route the ACT 40m OS2 duplex ruggedized fiber cable between intended connection points, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC adapter or port until it clicks. Verify link status and, if necessary, test insertion loss and return loss using appropriate fiber test equipment. Maintain clean connector end-faces before mating to reduce loss and reflections.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to prevent tight bends below the minimum bend radius and protect the connectors with dust caps when not in use. For outdoor installations, ensure proper strain relief and routing in conduits or trays to preserve the cable's ruggedized jacket and long-term performance.
