ACT 7 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC connectors

The ACT 7m LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Duplex LC fiber patch cable provides a 7-metre singlemode connection with duplex LC connectors and a 9/125 µm core/cladding geometry. Constructed from LSZH jacket material, the cable limits smoke and halogen release in the event of a fire and is intended for use in data centres, telecommunications racks and other indoor networking environments that require long-distance, low-loss optical links.

Advantages

Each cable is supplied with an individual test report covering insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL), and all connector end faces are 100% inspected to ensure optical quality. The fiber uses grade A material and connectors are finished with a UPC polish for consistent low back-reflection. The cable also features laser-precision cleaving to optimise splice and connector performance.

Suitable for

• Long-distance singlemode links in data centres
• Inter-rack and equipment-to-equipment optical connections
• Telecommunications backbone and campus networks

How to use

Route the patch cable between LC-compatible transceivers or patch panels, ensuring connectors are free of dust before insertion. Align and insert the LC duplex connectors into the corresponding adapter or transceiver port until they click into place. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the cable bend radius recommended by the equipment manufacturer to prevent increased attenuation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; use lint-free wipes and appropriate fiber cleaning tools for connector end faces. For installations requiring certified performance, retain the supplied test report for commissioning and troubleshooting.
