ACT 0,5 meter LSZH multimode 50/125 OM5 glasvezel-patchkabel duplex met LC- en SC-stekkers

The ACT 0.5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM5 fiber patch cable duplex with LC and SC is a short-length multimode link designed for high-density network environments. It combines an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, uses a 50 µm core multimode OM5 fiber and a duplex configuration to carry bidirectional signals. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor installations where safety and space efficiency are priorities.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable offers precise connector fit and stable optical performance for short-reach links. The use of OM5 multimode fiber supports modern multimode applications and wavelength division multiplexing over short distances, while the duplex assembly allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The LSZH outer jacket improves safety in confined or publicly accessible areas by limiting toxic fumes and dense smoke.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This 0.5 meter cable is intended for very short links; it is not suitable for long-distance runs or outdoor installations. For single-mode requirements, long-haul transmission, or routes exposed to direct sunlight or mechanical stress, alternate cable types and lengths should be selected.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the patch cable by gently aligning and inserting the LC and SC connectors into the corresponding ports on transceivers, patch panels, or switches. Ensure connectors and ports are clean before mating to avoid signal loss; use appropriate dust caps when not connected. Route the cable with gentle bends respecting the minimum bend radius for multimode fiber, avoid kinks and excessive tension, and secure the cable in cable management trays or racks to prevent strain on the connectors.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For best performance, keep connector endfaces clean, use proper cable management to avoid tight bends, and match multimode transceivers and patching infrastructure to OM5 specifications for short-reach, high-bandwidth applications.
