Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik 55108.1

The EFB Elektronik 55108.1 is an OM1 multimode fibre optic cable with a 62.5 µm core diameter, intended for reliable short-distance data transmission in InfiniBand and similar networking environments. Its orange jacket provides easy visual identification within patch panels and cable runs. The cable construction is engineered to offer consistent optical performance and mechanical durability for typical data center and local area network installations.

Advantages

This OM1 fibre cable provides consistent multimode signal transmission over short links, with a core size that supports legacy and some current multimode transceivers. The orange jacket enhances cable management by improving visibility and identification. The cable’s build balances flexibility and tensile strength to withstand routine handling during installation and maintenance while preserving optical alignment and performance.

Suitable for

• Short-distance InfiniBand connections within racks and between adjacent equipment
• Patch panel to network device links in data centers and server rooms
• Local area network multimode segments where OM1 performance is acceptable

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM1 multimode
• Core diameter: 62.5 µm
• Jacket color: orange for easy identification
• Application: short-reach data transmission and InfiniBand networks
• Construction: multimode optical fiber suitable for patching and short interconnects

How to use

Route the fibre optic cable following standard cable management practices to avoid tight bends and excessive tension. Terminate and connect the cable using compatible multimode connectors and transceivers designed for OM1 fibre. Ensure connectors and ports are clean before mating to maintain signal quality. When installing in patch panels or trunking, secure the cable to prevent movement that could stress the fiber or connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this OM1 cable for short-reach links where 62.5 µm multimode fiber is supported. Avoid exceeding recommended bend radius and protect the cable from mechanical strain and moisture. For longer reaches or higher bandwidth requirements, consider multimode types with higher bandwidth-distance characteristics or singlemode alternatives.
