Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik LC - LC 50/125 5.0m

The EFB Elektronik LC - LC 50/125 5.0m fibre optic cable is a duplex LC/LC jumper with OM4 multimode fibre and a 50 µm core diameter. With a 5.0 m length and violet LSZH jacket, this cable provides low-attenuation links for high-speed data transmission in premises networks, data centres and equipment interconnects. The LC connectors on both ends support secure plug-in connections for duplex full-duplex signalling and are compatible with standard LC ports on transceivers, patch panels and active equipment.

Advantages

The OM4 grade multimode fibre offers higher bandwidth and improved modal dispersion performance compared with lower OM classes, enabling reliable short- and medium-reach connections. The LC connector design provides a compact footprint and straightforward mating with a wide range of network devices. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire and is suitable for installations where smoke and toxic gas levels must be minimised.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Patch connections between switches, transceivers and patch panels in data centres
• Horizontal and backbone cabling within office buildings and server rooms
• High-speed multimode links for storage area networks (SAN) and virtualization setups
• Fiber patching for telecom racks and testing equipment

• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Length: 5.0 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Color: violet
• Polish/type: factory-terminated duplex jumper suitable for full-duplex links

How to use

Inspect cable ends and connector ferrules for contamination before insertion. Align the LC connector keyed tab with the device port and insert until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use one fibre for transmit and the other for receive to establish full-duplex communication; maintain correct polarity according to your equipment’s documentation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension, keeping bend radius within manufacturer-recommended limits to prevent increased attenuation or fibre damage.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep connectors covered with dust caps when not in use, clean ferrules with approved cleaning tools before mating, and store the cable coiled without tight loops. Use OM4 jumpers for multimode applications where higher bandwidth and reach are required; for long-distance singlemode links, use appropriate singlemode fibre solutions instead.
