ACT 0,5 meter LSZH multimode 50/125 OM2 glasvezel-patchkabel duplex met ST-stekkers

The ACT 0.5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 duplex ST connectors patch cable is designed for short-distance fiber optic links in networking and telecommunications environments. This duplex cable uses 50/125 µm multimode fiber (OM2) and ST connectors on both ends to provide reliable full-duplex data transmission. The jacket is manufactured from low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) material, reducing harmful emissions in the event of fire and making the cable suitable for use in enclosed or public spaces where safety requirements are important.

Advantages

The cable offers stable multimode performance with an OM2 core size suitable for short-range multimode applications and legacy network equipment. ST connectors provide a bayonet-style coupling for secure mechanical connection and straightforward installation. The LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and halogen release, supporting compliance with safety guidelines in offices, data centers, and public buildings. Its 0.5 meter length reduces excess cabling and helps maintain tidy cable management in patch panels and equipment racks.

Suitable for

• Short trunk and patch connections between switches and transceivers
• Connections in data centers, telecom rooms, and wiring closets
• Local area network (LAN) links and equipment interconnects
• Environments with fire-safety regulations where LSZH materials are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm (OM2)
• Length: 0.5 meter duplex
• Connector type: ST duplex connectors
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Transmission: Full duplex multimode optical link
• Typical applications: Short-distance data and telecom links

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable for damage before installation. Align the ST connectors with the equipment or patch panel receptacles and insert, using the bayonet twist to lock each connector in place. Use one fiber for transmit and the other for receive to maintain correct full-duplex communication. Route the 0.5 m patch cable to avoid sharp bends; maintain bend radii recommended for multimode fiber. When rearranging or removing the cable, unlock the ST connectors with a slight twist and withdraw without applying excessive force to the fiber ends.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep connector endfaces clean using appropriate fiber cleaning tools and inspect with a microscope if possible. Avoid bending the cable below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and protect against mechanical strain at connector junctions. Use this short-length OM2 duplex cable for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections where multimode transceivers are in use, and prefer LSZH-specified routing in areas with low ventilation or public access to meet safety standards.
