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

The ACT Fiber patch cable duplex 5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 provides a ready-to-use fiber optic link for indoor structured cabling and equipment interconnections. Designed with multimode 50/125 µm fibers and duplex termination, this cable supports short- to medium-range high-speed data transmission. Its LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket reduces harmful emissions in case of fire, making it suitable for enclosed environments where smoke and corrosion risks must be minimized. The cable combines LC and ST connector options to match common networking devices and patch panels.

Advantages

This duplex multimode fiber cable offers consistent attenuation and modal bandwidth characteristics appropriate for OM2-rated links, enabling reliable performance for enterprise and data center patching. The LSZH jacket enhances safety in public and confined spaces while maintaining flexibility for routing through conduits and cable trays. Factory-terminated connectors ensure proper ferrule alignment and low insertion loss, reducing the need for field terminations and simplifying installation.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Interconnecting switches, transceivers and patch panels in local area networks
• Data center horizontal and equipment-level patching
• Fiber-to-equipment connections in telecom rooms and wiring closets
• Short- to medium-distance multimode links within buildings

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm (OM2)
• Length: 5 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connector types: LC to ST (duplex termination)
• Typical use: Indoor structured cabling and equipment patching

How to use

Connect the LC and ST connectors to the corresponding ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels, observing correct polarity for duplex links (A-to-B). Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile stress; adhere to the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Verify link integrity with appropriate test equipment after installation and ensure connector endfaces are clean before mating to avoid contamination-related signal loss.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry, dust-free environment. Clean connector endfaces with approved fiber cleaning tools prior to connection. For installations in public areas or confined spaces, the LSZH jacket reduces risks from smoke and corrosive gases; nonetheless, follow local fire codes and cabling standards when planning cable routes.
