Black Box EFE071-003M Fiber Optic Patch Cable OM1 Multimode 62.5/125µm LSZH LC to SC Duplex 3 Meter

The Black Box EFE071-003M fiber optic patch cable is a dependable solution designed for high-speed data transmission in various network installations. Featuring OM1 multimode 62.5/125µm fiber with LC and SC duplex connectors, this 3-meter cable ensures stable signal transfer and seamless connectivity for telecommunication and local area networks. Built with a low smoke zero halogen LSZH jacket, it prioritizes safety in enclosed spaces by minimizing toxic and corrosive gas emissions in the event of a fire.

Advantages

This fiber optic cable provides reliable and efficient performance for standard local area networks and telecommunication setups. The inclusion of LC and SC duplex connectors ensures wide compatibility with standard network equipment such as switches, transceivers, and patch panels. The LSZH cable jacket enhances safety compliance in public buildings and server rooms where minimizing hazardous smoke emissions is critical.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and transceivers
• Linking patch panels within local area networks
• Telecommunication installations requiring OM1 multimode fiber
• Indoor network environments where LSZH safety standards apply

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for long-distance outdoor installations where direct burial or exposure to harsh weather elements is required. Additionally, it may not be appropriate for high-bandwidth networks that specifically demand OM3, OM4, or single-mode fiber infrastructure.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM1 Multimode 62.5/125µm
• Connector types: LC to SC Duplex
• Cable length: 3 meters
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen LSZH

How to use

Ensure the network equipment is powered off or handle connections carefully to avoid optical transceiver damage. Remove the protective dust caps from the LC and SC connectors. Align the connectors with the corresponding ports on the switches, transceivers, or patch panels and gently push until a click sound indicates a secure connection. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling forces during installation to maintain optimal optical performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required connector types match your existing hardware ports
• Check that the 3-meter length is sufficient for your routing pathway
• Confirm that your network architecture supports OM1 multimode specifications

Usage recommendations: Route the fiber optic cable carefully along cable trays or management channels, ensuring minimum bend radius limits are respected to prevent signal attenuation and physical damage.
