Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0319.45 — OM4 multimode, LC–LC connectors, 45 m, 50 µm

The EFB Elektronik O0319.45 is a high-performance OM4 multimode fibre optic cable designed for reliable and high-speed data transmission. Featuring a 50/125 µm core and cladding diameter, this duplex jumper cable is equipped with precision-engineered LC-LC connectors. With a length of 45 meters and a durable 2.0 mm LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket in an erika violet color, it provides a robust solution for demanding network environments requiring high bandwidth and low signal loss.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers superior signal integrity and increased bandwidth capacity compared to older multimode standards, making it an ideal choice for modern high-speed networking. The use of LSZH material ensures enhanced safety in enclosed spaces by reducing toxic smoke emissions in the event of fire. Its duplex LC-LC configuration allows for easy and secure installation in standard networking hardware, while the 45-meter length provides sufficient reach for connecting equipment across server rooms or data centers without compromising performance.

Suitable for

• High-speed data center interconnections
• Server rack to switch connectivity
• InfiniBand network infrastructure
• Enterprise-grade local area networks
• High-bandwidth storage area networks

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-distance outdoor installations or direct burial, as it lacks the necessary environmental protection and ruggedization for such conditions. It is also not compatible with single-mode fibre equipment, as it is strictly designed for multimode applications.

Key specifications

• Cable type: OM4 Multimode
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Cladding diameter: 125 µm
• Cable length: 45 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Cable diameter: 2.0 mm
• Configuration: Duplex

How to use

To install the cable, carefully remove the protective dust caps from the LC connectors and the corresponding ports on your network equipment. Insert the connectors until you hear a distinct click, ensuring a secure physical connection. Route the cable through cable management trays or racks, taking care to avoid sharp bends or excessive tension that could damage the internal glass fibres. Once connected, verify the link status on your network hardware interface.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network equipment ports are compatible with LC connectors.
• Ensure that your transceivers are rated for OM4 multimode fibre.
• Measure the required distance to ensure 45 meters is sufficient for your cable path.
• Confirm that your environment requires LSZH-rated cabling for safety compliance.

Usage recommendations

Always handle the fibre optic connectors with care and keep them clean to prevent signal degradation. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable during installation to maintain optimal transmission performance.
