EFB Elektronik O0362.15 Fibre Optic Patch Cable, OS2, SC to LC, 15 m, Yellow

The EFB Elektronik O0362.15 is a high-performance fibre optic patch cable designed for reliable and high-speed data transmission in professional network environments. Measuring 15 meters in length, this OS2 single-mode cable features a duplex configuration with SC and LC connectors, making it an essential component for connecting networking equipment in data centers and telecommunication infrastructures. The cable is constructed with a 9 µm core diameter, ensuring optimal signal integrity and minimal attenuation over long distances.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional durability and performance due to its high-quality construction and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, which enhances safety in enclosed spaces by reducing toxic emissions in the event of fire. The precision-engineered SC and LC connectors provide a secure and stable connection, minimizing signal loss and ensuring consistent data throughput. Its yellow color coding allows for easy identification within complex cable management systems, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting tasks for network administrators.

Suitable for

• High-speed telecommunication networks
• Data center interconnections
• Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) installations
• Enterprise local area networks (LAN)
• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels

This cable may not be suitable for environments requiring multi-mode fiber optics, as it is specifically designed for OS2 single-mode applications. It is also not intended for outdoor use without appropriate protective conduit, as the standard LSZH jacket is primarily designed for indoor network installations.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 m
• Fibre type: OS2 single-mode
• Connector 1: SC
• Connector 2: LC
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Configuration: Full duplex
• Jacket material: LSZH
• Color: Yellow

To use this patch cable, ensure that both the source and destination devices are equipped with compatible SC and LC ports. Carefully remove the protective dust caps from the connectors immediately before installation to prevent contamination of the fiber end-faces. Gently insert the connectors into the corresponding ports until you hear a click, ensuring the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius to maintain signal quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the connector types required by your networking hardware
• Ensure the 15-meter length is sufficient for your cable run
• Confirm that your equipment supports OS2 single-mode fiber
• Check if your installation environment requires LSZH-rated cabling

For optimal performance, always inspect and clean the fiber optic connectors with specialized cleaning tools before insertion. Avoid sharp bends or heavy pressure on the cable to prevent internal fiber damage and signal degradation.
