ACT 50 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber short boot patch cable duplex with LC and SC connectors

The ACT OS2 Fiber Patch Cable 50m LSZH Duplex LC–SC is a singlemode 9/125 patch lead designed for long-distance networking. It features duplex LC and SC connectors for full-duplex data transmission and uses LSZH jacket material to reduce smoke and eliminate halogen emissions, suitable for installations in data centers and telecom environments. Each cable is inspected: end-faces are 100% checked, and individual IL (insertion loss) and RL (return loss) test reports are provided. The fiber uses Grade A glass and UPC polishing for connector end-face quality, while laser-precision cleaving ensures consistent terminations.

Advantages

The cable provides low attenuation and stable signal performance across long runs thanks to OS2 singlemode fiber with a 9 µm core. LSZH construction improves safety in confined areas by minimizing smoke and halogen output in case of fire. Delivered with individual IL and RL test reports and 100% end-face inspection, the product supports reliable deployment and easier troubleshooting. UPC polish and laser precision cleaving contribute to consistent connector quality and reduced insertion loss.

Suitable for

• Long-distance singlemode links in telecom networks
• Data center interconnects and backbone cabling
• Fiber-to-the-office and campus backbone runs
• Enclosed or public spaces where low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket is required

How to use

Route the duplex LC–SC cable along the planned pathway, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. Terminate connections by inserting the LC and SC connectors into the corresponding ports on transceivers, patch panels, or networking equipment, ensuring proper key alignment. Use the provided IL and RL test reports and visually inspect end-faces if required before commissioning. Secure the cable with appropriate clips or trays to maintain minimum bend radius and prevent mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For best performance, maintain the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius, keep connector end-faces clean, and use proper strain relief. Store and handle the fiber to avoid impacts; verify IL/RL values from the included test report after installation and perform periodic inspections for contamination or damage.
