ACT 5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors

The ACT 5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 duplex fiber patch cable with LC and SC connectors is a pre-terminated optical link designed for indoor network connections. It provides duplex multimode transmission on 50/125 µm fiber compliant with the OM2 performance class. The cable uses Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material to reduce hazardous smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire. With a 5 m length and LC-to-SC connector pair, the cable supports full-duplex data transfer between compatible devices such as switches, patch panels, transceivers and optical equipment.

Advantages

The ACT multimode OM2 cable offers predictable multimode performance suitable for common short-range data links and structured cabling. The LSZH jacket increases safety for indoor installations in offices, data centers and public buildings. Duplex construction with LC and SC connectors ensures compatibility with a wide range of equipment and simplifies installation. Pre-terminated connectors reduce on-site termination work and help maintain consistent optical performance.

Suitable for

• Indoor LAN backbone and horizontal cabling
• Connections between switches, patch panels and optical transceivers
• Data centers and communications rooms with short to medium reach multimode links
• Environments where low-smoke, halogen-free cable jackets are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm (OM2)
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connectors: One end LC, one end SC (duplex)
• Length: 5 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

How to use

Inspect both connectors and the cable jacket for visible damage before installation. Insert the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port of the intended devices, ensuring correct polarity for duplex transmission. Route the cable following standard bend-radius and strain-relief practices to avoid tight bends and stretching. Secure the cable in cable management trays or on patch panels to prevent mechanical stress and maintain consistent optical performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable bend radius greater than 10 times the cable diameter, avoid kinking, and use dust caps when connectors are not mated. Clean connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Choose OM2 multimode for short to medium-range links; for longer multimode distances consider higher OM classes or singlemode alternatives.
