ACT 5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and ST connectors

The ACT OM3 Fiber Patch Cable 5m Duplex with LC and ST connectors is a multimode 50/125 µm LSZH cable designed for high-speed data transmission and full duplex communication. The cable uses Grade A‑m fiber with UPC polish and laser precision cleaving; each cable receives an individual test report for insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL), and all end-faces are 100% inspected.

Advantages

Provides reliable multimode performance for short- to medium-range networks, built with LSZH jacket material to reduce smoke and hazardous gases in case of fire. The use of Grade A‑m fiber, UPC polish and laser precision cleaving ensures consistent optical performance, while individual IL and RL test reports and full end-face inspection support traceable quality control.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects and patch panels
• Campus and enterprise LAN backbone links
• High-speed multimode network segments (10G/40G depending on equipment)
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Fiber type: Multimode OM3, 50/125 µm
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connectors: 2x LC to 2x ST
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Fiber grade & polish: Grade A-m fiber, UPC polish
• Quality checks: Individual IL and RL test report per cable; 100% end-face inspection

How to use

Connect the LC ends to the LC ports on your transceivers or patch panel and the ST ends to the corresponding ST ports on network equipment. Ensure connectors are clean before mating — use the included test report to verify IL and RL values meet your system requirements. Route the cable following standard fiber handling practices: avoid tight bends, kinks and excessive tensile load to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean connector end-faces before installation, verify test report values against your equipment tolerances, and avoid bending below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use LSZH cabling in areas where reduced smoke and halogen-free materials are required.
