ACT 1,5 m LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Duplex kuitu-patch-kaapeli LC/APC8-liittimillä

The ACT 1.5m LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC/APC8 is a duplex singlemode fiber patch cord designed for reliable optical connections in LAN, data center and telecom environments. With a 1.5 meter length and 9 µm core diameter, the cable supports OS2 singlemode transmission characteristics and LC/APC8 duplex connectors for low-loss, high-return-loss mating. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) outer jacket provides reduced toxic emissions in the event of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor installations where safety and fire regulation compliance are important.

Advantages

The cable provides stable singlemode performance with a 9/125 µm core/cladding ratio that supports long-distance, high-speed optical links. Duplex LC/APC8 connectors minimize back reflection and ensure repeatable low insertion loss for applications requiring precise optical performance. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen output while retaining flexibility for routing in racks and conduits. Standard optical fiber construction ensures compatibility with common singlemode equipment and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting network equipment in data centers and server rooms
• Patch panels and fiber distribution frames
• Telecommunications links and singlemode backbone connections
• Indoor structured cabling where low-smoke materials are required

How to use

Ensure both link endpoints are powered down or in a safe maintenance state before connecting the fiber patch cable. Align the duplex LC/APC8 connectors with the corresponding LC/APC ports on transceivers, patch panels or devices and insert until they click into place. Verify the connector orientation to preserve APC angle insertion. After connection, secure excess cable length to avoid tight bends; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for singlemode fiber to prevent signal degradation. Test the optical link with appropriate measurement tools such as an optical power meter or OTDR to confirm acceptable insertion loss and return loss.

Recommendations

Handle fiber connectors by the boot or housing and avoid touching the ferrule endface. Keep protective dust caps on connectors when not in use and perform endface inspection and cleaning before mating. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; follow installation guidelines for minimum bend radius and secure with cable management accessories in racks and trays.
