ACT 5 meter LSZH singlemode 9/125 OS2 glasvezel-patchkabel duplex met SC-stekkers

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable Duplex SC Connectors 5 Meter is a singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch lead designed for reliable high-speed optical data transmission. Built with duplex SC connectors and a 5 m length, this cable supports point-to-point links in data centers, telecom racks and network cabinets. The outer jacket is made from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material to reduce toxic and corrosive gas emission in case of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where safety and minimal smoke production are required.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable provides stable singlemode performance with low insertion loss and high return loss characteristics appropriate for long-distance and high-bandwidth connections. The duplex SC connectors offer a secure push-pull coupling mechanism for easy mating and reliable mechanical alignment. The LSZH jacket improves safety in confined spaces and the cable’s construction ensures consistent attenuation values and long-term durability under normal installation conditions.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between optical transceivers and patch panels in data centers
• Telecommunications and central office cabling
• FTTx subscriber connections and backbone fiber links
• Network cabinets, equipment racks and structured cabling systems

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode 9/125 µm (OS2)
• Connector type: Duplex SC — push-pull square ferrule design
• Cable length: 5 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Typical attenuation: compliant with singlemode OS2 performance (low loss)
• Polish/type: Standard singlemode end-face geometry (APC or UPC depends on stock; verify before installation)

How to use

Uncoil the 5 m fiber patch cable carefully to avoid tight bends and do not exceed the recommended minimum bend radius. Align the duplex SC connectors with the transceiver or patch panel ports and insert until the connector latches. Ensure correct polarity of the duplex pair according to your equipment’s Tx/Rx orientation. Before use, verify connector end-face cleanliness with an inspection scope and clean connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if contamination is found.

Recommendations

Store the cable loosely coiled and protected from prolonged UV exposure. During installation, maintain gentle handling to prevent microbends and avoid kinking. For safe indoor deployment, route the LSZH-jacketed cable away from sharp edges and secure it inside cable management trays or conduits. Confirm connector polish type (UPC or APC) to match mating components and perform optical loss testing after installation to validate link performance.
