ACT 3 meter LSZH multimode 50/125 OM4 glasvezel-patchkabel duplex met LC- en SC-stekkers

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC SC 3m is a multimode optical patch cord designed for reliable short-range data transmission. It features LC and SC connectors in a duplex configuration and a 50/125 µm OM4 core that supports high bandwidth and low attenuation for LAN, data centre and telecom applications. The cable jacket is made of LSZH material to reduce smoke and harmful gases in case of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where safety standards are required.

Advantages

This duplex fiber patch cable combines two common connector types—LC and SC—providing compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and patch panels. The OM4 50/125 µm multimode core enables higher modal bandwidth and improved performance for 10G and higher short-reach links. LSZH jacket construction minimizes toxic fumes and dense smoke during combustion, improving safety in enclosed spaces. The 3 meter length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel connections while maintaining low insertion loss and consistent signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching and rack interconnects
• Office network backbone and server room connections
• Fiber patch panels and optical distribution frames
• Short-reach multimode links (10G and aggregated traffic)

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector configuration: Duplex LC to SC
• Length: 3 meters
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Polish type: Factory-polished endfaces (typical UPC/APC depends on connector)
• Typical applications: Short-range LAN and data centre links

How to use

Inspect the connector endfaces and cable for visible damage before installation. Route the 3 m patch cable between devices, patch panels or transceivers, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; respect the minimum bend radius specified for multimode fiber. Insert the LC connector into the LC adapter and the SC connector into the SC adapter until secure. Verify link performance with appropriate optical testing equipment or by confirming network link status on connected equipment. For reliable long-term operation, keep connectors capped when not in use and follow standard fibre handling procedures.

Recommendations

Use this OM4 LSZH duplex cable for indoor environments where fire safety and low-smoke emission are important. For 10G and higher short-reach applications, ensure transceivers and patch panels are compatible with multimode OM4 specifications and maintain proper connector cleanliness to minimize insertion loss.
