ACT 22 metri LSZH multimodale 50/125 OM3 cavo patch in fibra ottica duplex con connettori LC e SC

The ACT OM3 Fiber Patch Cable 22m is a multimode 50/125 µm duplex cable designed for high-performance short- to medium-range optical links. It is terminated with 2x LC connectors on one end and 2x SC connectors on the other, enabling full-duplex data transmission between compatible network devices. The cable jacket is made from LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material to reduce toxic fumes and smoke emission in enclosed spaces, improving safety in building and server room installations.

Advantages

This OM3 fiber patch cable supports higher bandwidth and lower attenuation across multimode links compared with lower-grade multimode fibers, making it suitable for 10 Gbps and certain 40/100 Gbps short-range applications where OM3 is specified. Duplex LC–SC termination provides flexible connectivity options for equipment with different port types while maintaining polarization for duplex operation. The 22 meter length accommodates rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment runs without the need for splices or additional patching, and the LSZH jacket reduces the risk associated with smoke and corrosive gases in the event of fire.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and vertical patching
• Server room and telecommunication closet connections
• Interconnects between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Enterprise LAN links requiring multimode OM3 performance

• Suitable wavelength ranges: commonly 850 nm / 1300 nm multimode applications

How to use

Route the 22 m duplex OM3 cable between the source and destination ports, ensuring the LC and SC connectors match the corresponding ports on your devices or patch panels. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by industry standards for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Before insertion, inspect connector endfaces and clean if necessary to ensure optimal signal quality. Insert connectors firmly until they click or seat in the adapter, and verify link status on connected equipment. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate tie points and cable management to avoid strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Use this OM3 LSZH duplex cable for indoor environments where reduced smoke and halogen-free properties are required. For links longer than 30–40 meters at higher data rates, verify system loss budget and modal bandwidth requirements; consider OM4 or singlemode alternatives for extended reach or higher-speed applications.
