Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0320.5 5m LC SC Orange

The EFB Elektronik O0320.5 5m LC SC Orange fibre optic cable is a multimode OM2 duplex patch cord with LC and SC connectors designed for short- to medium-range data transmission. With a 50 µm core diameter, the cable supports reliable, high-speed links between networking equipment in data centers, server rooms and telecommunication racks. The orange jacket provides clear visual identification for multimode installations and helps keep structured cabling organized.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable combines standardized LC and SC connector interfaces for compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and patch panels. The OM2 50 µm multimode core is optimized for stable full duplex communication and preserves signal integrity across the 5 m length, resulting in low insertion loss and consistent performance. The cable jacket is colored orange to indicate multimode type, simplifying maintenance and cable management in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, servers and transceivers in data centers
• Patch panel to active equipment connections in server rooms
• Telecommunications racks and networking closets requiring multimode links
• Short-distance redundant or parallel fibre links within cabinets

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM2
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connectors: LC (one end) and SC (other end), duplex
• Length: 5 meters
• Jacket color: Orange (multimode identification)
• Transmission: Full duplex

How to use

Route the cable between the two devices to be connected, avoiding sharp bends and tight loops that can increase attenuation. Insert the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the corresponding SC port or adapter on the patch panel or transceiver, ensuring secure and correct orientation. For best performance, keep terminations clean by using appropriate fibre cleaning tools before connection and secure the cable to rack panels with Velcro or cable ties at gentle tension points.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the fibre cable carefully to prevent microbends and macrobends; avoid pulling the cable by the connectors. Use fibre-specific cleaning methods for end faces and follow equipment vendor guidelines for allowable bend radius and insertion loss budgets. Choose OM2 multimode links where short- to medium-range connectivity and multimode transceiver compatibility are required.
