ACT 1 meter LSZH multimode 50/125 OM2 glasvezel-patchkabel duplex met ST-stekkers

The ACT Fiber patch cable duplex 1 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM2 with ST connectors is a factory-terminated optical cable intended for short-range, high-speed network links. Constructed with 50/125 µm multimode glass fibers and an LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) outer jacket, this duplex cable supplies two fibers terminated with ST connectors to support full-duplex data transmission in structured cabling, server rooms, telecom closets and equipment racks. The 1 m length offers a compact interconnect solution between networking devices while the OM2 core and standardized termination ensure predictable optical performance for multimode distribution systems.

Advantages

This multimode fiber patch cable combines standardized OM2 fiber dimensions with ST connector terminations to provide reliable insertion loss and repeatable connections. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke emission and eliminates halogen gases in case of fire, improving safety in enclosed or public buildings. Duplex construction enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels over a single cable assembly, and the 1 meter length minimizes excess slack while maintaining flexibility for neat cable management.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode data links in data centers and server rooms
• Interconnects between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Telecommunications equipment racks and closet installations
• Indoor installations where low smoke and halogen-free properties are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm (OM2)
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Connectors: ST on both ends
• Jacket material: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Cable length: 1 meter
• Typical applications: Short-reach multimode networks and patching

How to use

Route the duplex fiber patch cable between the two equipment ports ensuring the ST connectors align with the keyed receptacles before insertion. Hold the connector by the housing and push straight into the ST adapter until the bayonet lock engages; rotate if required to secure the connection. Avoid bending the cable beyond the recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fiber and secure excess length with cable ties or management panels to prevent strain on the connectors. When disconnecting, depress any release mechanism and pull the connector straight out without twisting the fiber.

Recommendations

Clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber-cleaning tools before each connection to minimize insertion loss. Maintain gentle handling, avoid tight bends or crushing, and store the cable in a dry environment; use LSZH cables in occupied indoor spaces to reduce smoke and toxic gas risks in the event of fire.
