ACT 5 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 short boot fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors

The ACT 5 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 short boot fiber patch cable features duplex LC and SC connectors for reliable full-duplex high-speed data transmission. Constructed with OS2 9/125 singlemode fiber and a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, the cable is intended for use in data centers, telecom rooms and other indoor installations where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required. Each cable is supplied with a unique test report showing insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) measurements and with 100% end-face inspection; connectors are polished to UPC standard and fibers are cleaved using laser-precision techniques.

Advantages

This ACT fiber patch cable provides consistent optical performance through Grade A singlemode fiber and factory-performed IL and RL testing for traceable quality. The LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and halogen output in the event of a fire, and UPC-polished connectors combined with laser precision cleaving reduce back-reflection and insertion loss. Duplex LC to SC connectivity and a 5 m cable length simplify linking equipment across racks and cabinets.

Suitable for

• Interconnects in data centers and server rooms
• Telecommunications backbone links and patch panels
• Indoor structured cabling where LSZH is required
• Full-duplex optical links between networking devices

How to use

Route the 5 m duplex fiber patch cable between the LC and SC ports of the devices or patch panels, taking care to avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling. Align and insert connectors fully into the mating adapters until they click or seat securely. Follow your facility’s end-face cleaning procedures before connection if the connectors are exposed to dust. For best optical performance, use the supplied test report to verify IL and RL values when integrating the cable into an existing link.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fiber cable in a clean environment; avoid bending below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and use cable management to prevent stress. Use LSZH-rated pathways in areas where low smoke and zero halogen are required.
