ACT 5 metriä LSZH multimode 50/125 OM4 kuitu-patch-kaapeli duplex LC- ja SC-liittimillä

The ACT fiber patch cable duplex 5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM4 is a pre-terminated duplex fiber assembly designed for high-bandwidth short-range connections. It uses 50 µm core multimode fiber with OM4 grading to support elevated data rates in enterprise, data centre and telecom environments. One end is fitted with LC connectors and the other end with SC connectors to provide flexible interfacing between different transceiver and patch-panel types. The LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire, making the cable suitable for installations where safety and low-smoke behaviour are required.

Advantages

This duplex multimode cable provides consistent full-duplex data transmission with low insertion loss and good return loss characteristics for short to medium link distances. The OM4 fiber grade increases modal bandwidth and supports higher wavelength division multiplexing density and 10/25/40/100 Gbps applications over multimode links. The LSZH jacket material enhances safety in confined spaces and public areas by limiting smoke and halogen emissions. Factory-polished connectors ensure repeatable performance and quick deployment without field termination.

Suitable for

• Short-range links in data centres and server rooms
• Connections between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• High-speed ethernet up to 40/100 Gbps over multimode OM4
• Indoor cabling in commercial buildings, racks and telecom closets

How to use

Inspect both connectors and the patch panel ports before insertion to ensure cleanliness and absence of debris. Align the LC and SC duplex connectors with the corresponding ports and insert until the retention latches engage. For rack installations, route the cable through cable managers or bend guides to maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and avoid tight bends. Test the installed link with appropriate fibre testers or transceiver diagnostics to verify insertion loss and link continuity.

Recommendations

Use a fibre cleaning tool or lint-free wipes with isopropyl alcohol to clean connectors before mating. Maintain bend radius recommendations and avoid excessive pulling force on the cable jacket during installation. For critical links, perform certification testing to confirm compliance with required attenuation and bandwidth parameters.
