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

The ACT 50 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 duplex LC connectors fiber patch cable provides a reliable link for short- to medium-distance optical networks. With a 50 µm core diameter and OM4 specification, the cable supports high-bandwidth multimode transmission and is terminated with duplex LC connectors for full-duplex data exchange. The LSZH jacket minimizes toxic fumes and smoke in case of fire, making the cable suitable for installation in enclosed or public areas where safety standards require low-halogen materials.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable combines OM4 multimode performance with a 50 µm core to enable higher modal bandwidth and improved link distances compared with lower-grade multimode fibers. Duplex LC connectors provide compact, reliable terminations with low insertion loss and easy mating in high-density patch panels. The LSZH outer jacket reduces the release of corrosive and toxic gases during combustion, supporting safer deployment in data centers, office buildings, and transportation hubs. The 50 meter length offers flexibility for structured cabling runs between equipment racks or across server rooms.

Suitable for

• Short- to medium-distance LAN and data center interconnects
• High-bandwidth multimode applications such as 10G/40G/100G over OM4
• Connections between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Installations in enclosed spaces, corridors and public buildings requiring LSZH cabling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: Duplex LC to Duplex LC
• Length: 50 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polish/type: factory-terminated multimode duplex

How to use

Route the fiber patch cable along cable trays or underfloor channels, avoiding tight bends and excessive pulling force. Align and insert the duplex LC connectors into corresponding LC ports on switches, transceivers or patch panels until they click into place. Ensure both ends are properly labeled to match link endpoints. For best optical performance, keep connector endfaces clean using appropriate fiber cleaning tools and inspect ends with a fiber microscope before final connection. Avoid stepping on the cable and secure it with soft ties or clamps that do not compress the jacket.

Recommendations

Maintain the specified minimum bend radius for OM4 multimode fiber, avoid twisting or crushing the cable, and store spare lengths in loops that do not exceed recommended radii. Use LC-compatible dust caps when connectors are not in use and perform periodic inspection and cleaning to preserve low insertion loss and return loss characteristics.
