Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0313.2 2 m LC ST Turquoise

The EFB Elektronik O0313.2 2 m LC ST Turquoise is an OM3 multimode fibre optic cable designed for short- to medium-range high-speed data links. It features LC and ST connectors and a 50 µm core diameter, providing full duplex transmission for network equipment that requires low-loss, low-latency optical connections. The turquoise jacket indicates OM3 classification and supports common structured cabling environments in data centers, telecom rooms, and campus networks.

Advantages

This 2 m OM3 fibre optic cable delivers stable signal integrity and consistent attenuation across standard multimode wavelengths. The LC and ST connector combination offers compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and legacy equipment, while the full duplex configuration enables simultaneous bidirectional communication. The turquoise outer jacket simplifies identification within bundles and racks, and the cable's construction supports reliable mating cycles and low insertion loss for predictable performance.

Suitable for

• Data center patching between switches, servers, and patch panels
• Telecommunications closets and equipment rooms
• Enterprise LAN backbone links and horizontal distribution
• Connecting multimode transceivers and media converters with LC and ST ports

Key specifications

• Length: 2 m
• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector A: LC (female/single duplex style)
• Connector B: ST (bayonet/round style)
• Transmission mode: full duplex
• Jacket colour: turquoise (OM3 standard)

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for dust or contamination before installation and clean them with suitable fibre optic cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer to prevent increased attenuation. Insert the LC and ST connectors into the corresponding ports until secure; ST connectors require a slight twist to lock the bayonet coupling. Verify link status and run appropriate optical tests or diagnostics to confirm acceptable insertion loss and signal levels.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment and avoid kinking or crushing. Use labelled patch panels or colour-coded management to keep turquoise OM3 cables distinct from other fibre classes. For critical links, perform certificaton or insertion-loss measurements after installation and periodically during maintenance cycles.
