ACT 0,5 metrin LSZH monimuotokuitu 62,5/125 OM1 duplex SC/ST kuitu-patchkaapeli

The ACT 0.5m LSZH Multimode 62.5/125 OM1 Duplex SC ST fiber patch cable is a short-length multimode link designed for reliable local area network connections and equipment interconnects. It combines SC and ST connectors in a duplex configuration to provide full-duplex optical transmission with a 62.5 µm core and 125 µm cladding, following OM1 multimode fiber specifications. The cable jacket uses low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) material to reduce toxic and corrosive gas release in case of fire, making it suitable for installation in confined indoor spaces and areas with strict safety requirements.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable offers low insertion loss and consistent multimode performance across short-reach links thanks to the 62.5/125 core structure and duplex arrangement. The mixed connector types (SC and ST) allow straightforward mating to common networking equipment and legacy devices without additional adapters. The LSZH jacket enhances safety where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required, and the 0.5 m length minimizes excess slack in patch panels and wall-mounted enclosures.

Suitable for

• Short-distance backbone and horizontal multimode connections in data closets
• Equipment interconnects between switches, media converters and fiber transceivers
• Laboratory and test bench setups requiring full-duplex multimode links
• Installations in buildings or spaces requiring low-smoke, low-toxicity cabling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM1
• Core/cladding diameter: 62.5/125 µm
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connectors: SC on one end, ST on the other
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Typical use: Short-reach multimode optical links

How to use

Verify that the connected equipment supports multimode fiber with SC and ST connectors and that fiber interfaces are clean. Route the 0.5 m ACT duplex cable between the two equipment ports, aligning keyed connectors and gently inserting until each connector latches or seats. Avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer's minimum bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. For best performance, inspect endfaces with a fiber microscope and clean if necessary before connection.

Recommendations

Keep the cable length appropriate for the installation to avoid excess slack in patch panels. Use dedicated fiber cleaning tools to maintain low insertion loss, and install LSZH cables in areas where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required. If interfacing with different connector types, use compatible patch adapters or pre-terminated assemblies to preserve signal integrity.
