ACT 15 meter LSZH multimode 50/125 OM4 glasvezel-patchkabel duplex met LC-stekkers

The ACT 15 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 duplex LC fiber patch cable is designed for high-performance short- to medium-reach optical links. With a 50 µm core and OM4 graded-index multimode construction, the cable supports increased bandwidth for data centre, server room and enterprise network environments. Duplex LC connectors provide compact, reliable full-duplex connectivity for transceivers, patch panels and active equipment. The LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and avoids halogen emissions for improved safety in enclosed spaces.

Advantages

This multimode OM4 cable offers higher modal bandwidth compared with lower OM classifications, enabling improved performance for 10 Gbps and certain 40/100 Gbps deployments over short distances. The duplex LC connector pair delivers a small form factor and reliable mating for dense patching. The LSZH jacket minimizes hazardous emissions in the event of fire and is suitable for installations where low smoke and zero halogen properties are required. The cable’s 15 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections without intermediate splicing.

Suitable for

• Data centre rack-to-rack and cabinet interconnects
• Server room patching between switches and transceivers
• High-speed enterprise LAN links and aggregation
• Short-reach 10 Gbps and multimode 40/100 Gbps applications within OM4 reach
• Environments requiring low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) cabling

How to use

Route the fiber patch cable between the two intended connection points, avoiding tight bends and physical strain on the connectors. Ensure connector endfaces are clean before insertion to prevent signal loss; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools or wipes. Insert the duplex LC connectors into the corresponding LC adapters or ports on transceivers, patch panels or active equipment, aligning the keyed latch and observing transmit/receive orientation for full-duplex operation. Secure the cable along trays or within cabinets using gentle clips or velcro straps to prevent stress on the fiber and maintain bend radii.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in environments that respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and maximum tensile load. For reliable high-speed links, verify connector cleanliness and transceiver compatibility with OM4 multimode fiber. Use LSZH cables in enclosed public or commercial spaces where low smoke and zero halogen properties are required by standards or safety policies.
