Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik 55004.1

The EFB Elektronik 55004.1 is an OM2 multimode fibre optic cable with a 50 µm core diameter designed for reliable optical data transmission in networking and telecommunications environments. The cable’s construction balances performance and durability, offering consistent signal quality for links that require multimode fibre infrastructure. Its orange outer jacket provides standard colour coding for multimode installations and helps with quick identification in cable bundles and patch panels.

Advantages

This OM2 fibre optic cable provides stable multimode performance for short- to medium-range links and supports commonly used light sources and transceivers. The 50 µm core enables efficient coupling with multimode connectors and equipment while the robust outer jacket reduces mechanical wear from handling, routing, and standard installation stresses. The cable’s consistent geometry and fibre quality contribute to predictable attenuation and low insertion loss when properly terminated.

Suitable for

• Enterprise and data centre horizontal and vertical cabling
• Local area network (LAN) multimode links
• Telecommunications patching and backbone connections
• Connections between switches, servers, and optical transceivers

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM2
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Jacket colour: Orange for multimode identification
• Designed for short- to medium-distance optical links
• Compatible with standard multimode connectors and transceivers

How to use

Prepare and terminate the fibre according to industry-standard procedures using appropriate tools and certified connectors. Route the cable through cable trays or conduits, avoiding tight bends and excessive tensile stress to preserve optical performance. When installing into patch panels or enclosures, ensure proper strain relief and follow recommended bend radius limits. Test each link with an optical power meter or OTDR to verify attenuation and connector integrity before putting the link into production.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, protect fibre endfaces from contamination, and perform endface inspection prior to connection. For reliable multimode performance, use compatible OM2-rated components and maintain recommended bend radii and installation practices to minimize attenuation and connector loss.
