ACT 7 meter LSZH multimode 50/125 OM3 glasvezel-patchkabel duplex met LC- en SC-stekkers

The ACT OM3 Fiber Patch Cable 7m Duplex LC SC connectors is a multimode 50/125 μm fiber optic cable designed for indoor network installations that require high-speed data transmission and full duplex communication. With duplex LC on one end and SC on the other, this 7 meter cable provides flexible connectivity between equipment with different connector types. The cable jacket is made of LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material to reduce toxic and corrosive emissions in the event of fire, making it suitable for enclosed spaces and public buildings.

Advantages

This OM3 fiber patch cable supports high bandwidth and low attenuation typical of multimode 50/125 μm OM3 fiber, enabling reliable performance for short- to medium-reach links. The duplex configuration allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels for full duplex operation. The LC and SC connectors provide wide compatibility with common transceivers, patch panels and network devices. The LSZH jacket enhances safety in indoor installations while maintaining flexibility and mechanical protection for everyday routing and patching.

Suitable for

• Data center patching and horizontal cabling
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links within racks and cabinets
• FTTx indoor distribution and telecom equipment rooms
• High-speed LAN backbones and enterprise network segments

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before connection and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable without sharp bends; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for multimode fiber to avoid increased attenuation. Insert the SC connector into the SC adapter or port and the LC connector into the LC adapter or port until secure. Verify link continuity and optical loss using a suitable tester or by checking link status on connected devices. When disconnecting, pull by the connector body rather than the cable jacket to avoid stress on the termination.

Recommendations

Store the cable coiled loosely and protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends, excessive tension, and exposure to chemicals. Use dust caps on unused ports and connectors to keep endfaces clean and reduce the need for re-polishing or re-termination.
