ACT 5 μέτρα LSZH πολύτροπο 50/125 OM5 καλώδιο patch οπτικής ίνας duplex με βύσματα LC

The ACT OM5 Fiber Patch Cable Duplex LC Connectors 5 Meter is a multimode fiber optic cable designed for indoor network connections that require high-speed, duplex data transmission. It uses a 50/125 µm multimode core with OM5 grading to support short-range, high-bandwidth applications. The outer jacket is made from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material to reduce toxic and corrosive gases and minimize smoke generation in the event of a fire, making it suitable for enclosed spaces and critical installations.

Advantages

This 5 meter duplex LC patch cable provides reliable multimode connectivity with duplex LC connectors that ensure precise alignment and low insertion loss. The OM5 multimode core is optimized for modern multimode applications and supports wavelength division multiplexing in the short range. The LSZH jacket enhances safety for indoor use by lowering smoke density and eliminating halogenated compounds. The pre-terminated LC duplex ends offer straightforward, tool-free insertion into compatible transceivers and patch panels.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor, direct-burial, or prolonged UV-exposed installations because the LSZH jacket and multimode construction are engineered for indoor environments. It is also not intended for long-haul single-mode links, where single-mode fiber with appropriate connectors and specs is required.

Key specifications

How to use

Uncoil the cable carefully to avoid kinking, then insert each LC duplex connector into the corresponding LC port on your transceiver, patch panel, or network device until it clicks into place. Route the cable through cable management guides or trays to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on the connectors. For removal, depress the LC latch and pull straight out without twisting. Regular visual inspection of connectors and cleaning with appropriate fiber cleaning tools will help maintain signal quality.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer, avoid tight bends or kinks, and use dust caps on connectors when not in use. Clean connector end faces with fiber-grade cleaning tools before termination into active equipment to reduce insertion loss and reflections.
