ACT 0,25 m LSZH multimodale 50/125 OM3 cavo patch in fibra ottica duplex con connettori LC

The ACT 0.25m LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 Duplex LC fiber patch cable is a short-length duplex link designed for high-speed multimode networks. It uses 50/125 µm multimode fiber with OM3 performance characteristics and duplex LC connectors to provide reliable full-duplex data transmission in environments where space is limited. The LSZH jacket reduces the release of harmful smoke and halogenated gases, making the cable suitable for installation in confined or public areas where safety standards require low-smoke materials.

Advantages

This 0.25m multimode patch cable offers a compact physical length that minimizes excess cable slack and helps maintain tidy fiber management in racks and panels. The duplex LC connectors provide a small form factor and stable mating for high-density installations. OM3 multimode fiber supports higher bandwidth over short distances, making it appropriate for modern data center interconnects and enterprise equipment links. The LSZH outer jacket enhances safety by limiting toxic emissions in case of fire and complies with installations that specify low-smoke materials.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between switches, transceivers and patch panels in data centers
• Patching links inside server cabinets and network racks where space is constrained
• Connections to multimode SFP/SFP+ transceivers and NICs using LC duplex ports
• Installations that require low-smoke zero-halogen cabling in public or enclosed spaces

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm
• OM rating: OM3
• Connector type: Duplex LC — two LC connectors on each end
• Length: 0.25 m (approx. 25 cm)
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Polish/Endface: Factory-terminated with standard multimode endfaces

How to use

Route the cable between the two LC duplex ports to be connected, taking care to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the fiber. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding duplex LC receptacle until it clicks in place, ensuring correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. Use cable management clips or panels to secure the short-length patch cord and prevent stress at the connector ends. Verify link integrity and performance with appropriate fiber test equipment or by monitoring the connected devices.

Recommendations

Maintain bend radii above the manufacturer’s minimum (avoid tight loops), keep the connectors capped when not in use to protect endfaces, and perform visual inspection and cleaning of connector endfaces before insertion to ensure optimal signal performance. For best results in high-density environments, label both ends and plan routing to minimize crossings and strain.
