Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0313.0,5

The EFB Elektronik O0313.0,5 is a 0.5 m OM3 multimode fibre optic cable equipped with an LC connector on one end and an ST connector on the other. With a 50 µm core diameter and full duplex support, the cable is designed for short-range high-speed data transmission in structured networks, telecom cabinets and patch panels. Its OM3 specification enables improved bandwidth for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed multimode applications.

Advantages

This fibre optic patch cable provides low insertion loss and stable optical performance for short-distance links. The mixed connector configuration (LC to ST) allows flexible integration between devices and existing infrastructure without the need for additional adapters. Its OM3 multimode grading supports higher modal bandwidth than standard multimode types, which helps maintain signal integrity for 10 GbE over short runs. The compact 0.5 m length reduces excess cable in dense rack environments and simplifies cable management.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting network equipment in server rooms and data closets
• Patching between patch panels and active devices with LC and ST ports
• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet multimode links
• Telecom and building backbone segments requiring multimode OM3

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector A: LC
• Connector B: ST
• Transmission mode: Full duplex
• Typical application: Short-range multimode high-speed links (e.g., 10 GbE)

How to use

Inspect connector end-faces for cleanliness before installation and, if necessary, clean using appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Connect the LC end to the corresponding LC port and the ST end to the ST port, ensuring secure seating without excessive force. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the specified minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. For patching in racks or enclosures, use cable management channels or ties to prevent strain on the connectors and to keep the short length tidy.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the OM3 fibre cable in a dust-free environment; protect connector end-caps until final connection. Avoid repeated unplugging to reduce wear on connector ferrules. For reliable 10 GbE performance, verify link parameters with appropriate test equipment and follow manufacturer guidelines for connector cleaning and optical power budgets.
