Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0312.1

The EFB Elektronik O0312.1 is a 1 m OM3 fibre optic cable with LC connectors on both ends and a 50 µm core diameter. Designed for short- to medium-range high-speed networks, this duplex multimode cable delivers stable optical performance for data centres, enterprise networking and audiovisual systems that require fast, low-latency signal transmission.

Advantages

This OM3 fibre optic cable offers low attenuation and good modal bandwidth for reliable transmission at gigabit and multi-gigabit speeds over short distances. The duplex LC–LC termination ensures easy insertion into patch panels and network equipment with LC ports. Its 1 m length provides a compact connection option that reduces excess cable management and signal loss associated with longer runs.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching between servers, switches and transceivers
• Enterprise LAN backbone and horizontal cabling within racks
• Audio/video signal routing and AV-over-IP installations
• Short-range multimode links for storage area networks (SAN)

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Length: 1 m
• Transmission: full duplex
• Typical applications: multimode short-range data transmission

How to use

Locate LC ports on your network devices and align the LC connectors with the corresponding receptacles, ensuring the clip engages securely. For duplex connections, keep the cable orientation consistent with transmit/receive pairs on both ends. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable with gentle cable management to maintain minimum bend radius and prevent microbends that could increase signal loss. If connecting to optical transceivers, confirm transceiver compatibility with OM3 multimode fibre.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment, avoid kinking and protect connector end faces from dust by replacing dust caps when connectors are not in use. For optimal performance in high-density racks, choose appropriate cable routing and label both ends for easier troubleshooting.
