Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0360.20 20 m LC SC Yellow

The EFB Elektronik O0360.20 20 m LC SC Yellow is a single-mode OS2 fibre optic patch cable designed for reliable interconnection in structured networks and data centre environments. With a 9 µm core diameter and LC to SC terminations, this 20-metre cable supports high-speed optical transmission with low attenuation and stable signal integrity over longer distances. The yellow jacket provides easy visual identification in cable bundles and racks while the construction balances flexibility and mechanical protection for routine installation and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

This single-mode OS2 cable features LC and SC connectors that offer secure mating and low insertion loss, suitable for professional telecom and network equipment. The 9 µm core diameter ensures efficient light propagation for long-reach links, while the 20 m length covers many rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections without additional splicing. The yellow outer jacket improves visibility and organization in multi-cable installations, and the cable construction delivers a balance of flexibility for routing and sufficient robustness to withstand standard handling.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, patch panels and optical transceivers in data centres
• Point-to-point links in enterprise campus and telecom racks
• Optical test setups and laboratory equipment requiring single-mode connections
• Upgrading or extending existing single-mode infrastructure

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Single-mode (OS2)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connectors: LC to SC
• Length: 20 m
• Jacket colour: Yellow
• Typical applications: Long-distance signal transmission, patching in racks

How to use

Route the fibre optic cable along the planned path between devices, avoiding sharp bends and areas of high mechanical stress. Insert the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port until each connector seats securely; verify connector orientation and latch engagement if present. After connection, test the link with appropriate optical test equipment (power meter, light source or transceiver diagnostics) to confirm attenuation and signal levels meet system requirements. When storing or coiling the cable, respect the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius to maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

Handle connectors by the boot or housing, keep end faces clean using suitable optical cleaning tools, and protect unused ends with dust caps. Avoid kinking the cable or applying excessive tensile force during installation. For permanent installations, use proper cable management and strain relief to ensure long-term reliability.
