Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik 55012.1

The EFB Elektronik 55012.1 is an OM2 multimode fibre optic cable with a 50 µm core diameter designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and network installations. It is engineered to provide stable signal propagation with low attenuation across short to medium distance links, making it suitable for enterprise LANs, data center interconnects and audiovisual systems that require consistent bandwidth and interoperability with standardized multimode transceivers.

Advantages

This OM2 fibre optic cable offers predictable multimode performance and a core size that supports common 850 nm VCSEL light sources, reducing modal dispersion over typical campus and building backbones. The cable construction emphasizes durability and mechanical stability to limit microbending and macrobending losses, while maintaining low insertion loss for connectors and patch panels. Its design helps ensure reliable throughput for gigabit and some multi-gigabit applications where multimode infrastructure is used.

Suitable for

• Enterprise local area networks (LAN) and office backbone cabling
• Data center horizontal and equipment interconnects over short to medium distances
• Audio/visual systems and professional AV signal distribution
• Campus networks and building-to-building links within OM2 distance limits

Key specifications

• Optical mode: Multimode (OM2)
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Suitable wavelength region: primarily 850 nm (VCSEL sources)
• Typical application distance: short to medium range multimode links
• Designed for low attenuation and controlled modal dispersion
• Cable durability: constructed to resist microbending and mechanical stress

How to use

Install the fibre optic cable following standard fibre handling practices: avoid tight bends, protect terminations and use appropriate cable management and strain relief. Prepare ends and terminate with compatible multimode connectors, ensure connectors and transceivers are clean before mating, and test each link for insertion loss and continuity with suitable optical test equipment. Route the cable through conduits or cable trays as required by the installation site and secure it to prevent excessive movement or crushing.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable within OM2 multimode distance recommendations and pair it with compatible multimode transceivers and patching hardware. Maintain proper bend radius (do not exceed manufacturer-specified minimums), keep connectors clean, and perform certification testing after installation to verify performance for the intended network speed and application.
