ACT 5 metrin LSZH monimuotokuitu 50/125 OM3 kuitu-patchkaapeli duplex SC-liittimillä

The ACT 5 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 Duplex SC fiber patch cable is a factory-terminated duplex link designed for short- to medium-range high-speed networking. It uses 50/125 µm multimode fiber in OM3 specification and SC connectors on both ends in a duplex configuration. The cable jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), which reduces toxic and corrosive gas emission in the event of a fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where safety and low-smoke behavior are required.

Advantages

This multimode fiber patch cable supports high data rates and is optimized for applications using OM3 fiber optics, providing low attenuation and consistent performance across 850 nm and 1300 nm wavelengths. The duplex SC terminations ensure stable mechanical mating and simple, color-coded connection. The LSZH jacket minimizes risk in confined or public spaces by producing little smoke and no halogenated gases if exposed to heat or flame. The pre-terminated construction delivers predictable optical performance and reduces installation time compared with field-terminated connectors.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Data center horizontal and rack-to-rack interconnects
• Enterprise LAN backbone links and server connections
• Patch panels and optical distribution frames (ODF)
• Short-range multimode links in office and campus environments

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm (OM3)
• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: Duplex SC on both ends
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Configuration: Duplex (full duplex data transmission)
• Typical applications: 10 Gigabit Ethernet and multimode optical networks

How to use

Route the 5 meter duplex cable between the devices or patch panel ports to be connected, taking care to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress. Align the SC connectors with the corresponding SC adapter or transceiver receptacle and insert until you hear or feel the connector latch engage. Observe polarity when connecting duplex links to ensure transmit and receive fibers match the remote end; reverse if required by your patching scheme. Verify optical link integrity and signal levels using appropriate test equipment or by checking link indicators on network devices.

Recommendations

Handle the fiber cable by its connector boot and outer jacket; maintain minimum bend radius as specified for multimode fiber to avoid increased attenuation. Keep connector endfaces clean—use fiber cleaning tools or lint-free wipes with approved cleaning fluid before making connections. For installations in public or confined spaces, the LSZH jacket provides reduced smoke and halogen output; still follow local fire and cabling regulations when routing and securing the cable.
