ACT 5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 fiber patch cable duplex with LC connectors

The ACT 5m Duplex LC OM4 fiber patch cable is a multimode LSZH cable designed for high-bandwidth connections over short to medium distances. With a 50/125 µm core/cladding profile and duplex LC connectors, the cable supports full-duplex data transmission and is suitable for use in data centers, network cabinets, and structured cabling systems where space and reliability are important. The low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket reduces hazardous emissions in enclosed environments, improving safety during installation and in populated areas.

Advantages

This OM4 multimode cable provides increased bandwidth and improved modal performance compared with lower-grade multimode fibers, enabling higher data rates for modern networking equipment. The duplex LC connectors offer a compact footprint and reliable mating with LC ports on transceivers and patch panels. The LSZH outer jacket minimizes smoke and toxic gases in the event of a fire, making the cable suitable for use in offices, hospitals, airports, and other public buildings. The 5 meter length offers a convenient reach for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and rack connections
• Interconnecting switches, transceivers and servers with LC ports
• High-speed short-reach links such as 10/40/100 Gbps multimode applications
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4 (50/125 µm)
• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: Duplex LC to LC
• Jacket material: Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH)
• Mode: Full duplex
• Typical applications: Data center, enterprise networks, structured cabling

How to use

Identify LC ports on network devices or patch panels and align the duplex LC connectors with the keyed slots before inserting. Ensure connectors are clean and free from dust; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools when necessary. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by multimode fiber practice during routing. Secure excess cable to prevent strain on the connectors and avoid placing heavy objects on the cable to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Use inspected and cleaned LC connectors prior to mating, route the cable with attention to bend radius and tensile limits, and deploy LSZH cabling in occupied or enclosed spaces where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required. For maximum performance in high-speed links, pair this OM4 cable with compatible OM4-rated transceivers and patch panels.
