ACT 0,5 metros LSZH monomodo 9/125 OS2 duplex LC/APC8 cabo de fibra ótica

The ACT 0.5m LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Duplex LC/APC8 is a short-length fiber patch cable designed for singlemode optical links. It uses a 9 µm core diameter fiber in OS2 classification and provides duplex connectivity via LC/APC8 connectors. The jacket is made from LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material to reduce toxic and corrosive gas emission in case of fire, making the cable suitable for installations in enclosed or public spaces where safety standards demand low-smoke, halogen-free materials.

Advantages

The cable supports singlemode transmission with OS2 performance characteristics, enabling low-attenuation, long-distance signal propagation in network environments. Duplex LC/APC8 connectors provide reliable mating with APC-terminated equipment and help minimize back-reflection. The short 0.5 meter length is convenient for patching within racks, connecting adjacent devices, or reducing excess fiber slack. The LSZH jacket improves safety in indoor deployments by producing less smoke and no halogen gases when exposed to heat.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between optical ports in server racks and patch panels
• Short-distance fiber patching in telecommunications cabinets
• Connections where APC polish and low back-reflection are required
• Indoor installations that require low smoke and zero halogen cabling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Mode field / classification: OS2
• Length: 0.5 meter
• Connector type: Duplex LC with APC8 end-face
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polish type: APC (Angled Physical Contact)

How to use

Route the ACT 0.5m fiber patch cable between corresponding duplex LC/APC ports, ensuring connectors are aligned and fully inserted until a secure latch is felt. Avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius and keep the fiber clean; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools before connection to maintain low insertion loss. For patch panel installations, manage the short length to prevent stress on the connectors and use cable organizers or short-length guides where available.

Recommendations

Handle connectors by the housing to avoid touching the ferrule. Store and transport the cable in protective packaging to prevent contamination and mechanical damage. Use in environments that require low-smoke, halogen-free materials and where APC terminations are specified for improved return loss performance.
