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

The ACT Fiber patch cable duplex 5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 provides a factory-terminated duplex connection with LC connectors designed for reliable short-reach optical links. Constructed with OM2 multimode fiber (50/125 µm) and an LSZH outer jacket, the cable is intended for indoor structured cabling where reduced smoke and corrosive gas emissions are required. The 5 m length and duplex LC termination suit horizontal and equipment-side connections in enterprise networks, data centers and telecommunications rooms.

Advantages

This multimode fiber cable offers low insertion loss and consistent return loss values across LC duplex terminations, supporting common multimode transceiver modules and patch panel interfaces. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen release in the event of a fire, improving safety in confined or populated indoor areas. The standardized 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry and OM2 classification ensure predictable modal bandwidth for legacy and current multimode systems.

Suitable for

• Short-distance links between switches, patch panels and servers in data centers
• Horizontal cabling in office and enterprise environments
• Fiber patching in telecommunications rooms and distribution frames
• Multimode transceiver connections using LC duplex interfaces

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm (OM2)
• Connector type: Duplex LC — both ends terminated
• Length: 5 meters
• Outer jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Cable configuration: Duplex, two-fiber assembly
• Typical use: Short-reach multimode patching

How to use

Route the cable along existing cable management paths, avoiding tight bends and securing with appropriate ties or guides to maintain the minimum bend radius. Insert the LC connectors into corresponding LC ports on patch panels, switches or transceivers until they click into place. Verify optical link performance with a visual fault locator or optical power meter if required, and label both ends to match network documentation for easier maintenance.

Recommendations

Do not exceed the manufacturer’s specified minimum bend radius and avoid crushing or severe torsion. Use the cable in indoor environments consistent with LSZH safety ratings and keep connectors clean — use dust caps when not connected and clean endfaces before mating to prevent increased loss.
