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

The ACT 5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 fiber patch cable with duplex ST connectors is designed for reliable indoor fiber optic links. This multimode OM2 cable supports short- to medium-range high-speed data transmission in structured cabling, server rooms and telecom racks. The duplex ST termini provide secure bayonet-style connections for compatible transceivers and panels, while the LSZH outer jacket reduces toxic fumes and dense smoke in the event of fire, meeting safety needs for enclosed spaces.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable combines multimode OM2 performance with a low-smoke zero-halogen jacket for improved safety in indoor environments. Duplex ST connectors allow quick insertion and positive retention with common ST-compatible equipment. The 50/125 core/cladding dimensions ensure standard multimode bandwidth and low attenuation over the listed 5 meter length, making the cable suitable for reliable short-range links. The cable’s construction supports consistent optical performance and straightforward termination compatibility.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and network equipment in data centers and server rooms
• Patch panels and fiber distribution frames in telecommunications closets
• Connecting multimode transceivers and media converters over short runs
• Indoor installations where low smoke and zero halogen materials are required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Multimode optical fiber
• Fiber grade: OM2 (50/125 µm core/cladding)
• Connector type (each end): Duplex ST
• Length: 5 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Typical use: Short- to medium-range multimode links, patching and equipment interconnects

How to use

Route the 5 m patch cable between the two devices or panel ports that accept ST connectors, aligning the bayonet-style ferrules and pushing until the connector clicks into place. Avoid tight bends and tension on the cable to preserve optical performance; follow minimum bend radius recommendations from multimode fiber standards. For removal, press the release mechanism on the ST connector and gently withdraw. Inspect connector endfaces before mating and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools to minimize insertion loss and reflections.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment and avoid prolonged exposure to mechanical stress. Use LC/ST-compatible adapters or patch panels when integrating with different connector types, and perform end-to-end testing after installation to verify attenuation and continuity for the multimode OM2 link.
