Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0371.2 2m LC ST Orange

The EFB Elektronik O0371.2 2m LC ST Orange is a 2-metre OM2 multimode fibre optic patch cable with LC and ST terminations. The cable uses a 62.5 µm core diameter multimode fibre designed for short- to medium-distance data links and supports full duplex operation through paired connectors. Its bright orange jacket provides clear visual identification for structured cabling in data centres, telecom racks and local networks.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable delivers stable, low-loss multimode signal transmission suitable for common networking environments. The LC connector offers compact plug density while the ST connector provides a durable bayonet-style coupling for legacy equipment. The 2 metre length minimises excess cable clutter in rack and patch panel installations, and the orange jacket simplifies routing and fault tracing. The construction is intended for indoor use in controlled environments where OM2 multimode performance is required.

Suitable for

• Data centre patch panels and short backbone links
• Local area network (LAN) connections between switches and transceivers
• Telecom equipment with mixed LC and ST interfaces
• Test setups and lab environments requiring visible cabling

Key specifications

• Connector A: LC (single/duplex as applicable)
• Connector B: ST (bayonet-style)
• Jacket colour: Orange
• Mode: Full duplex
• Typical application: Indoor structured cabling

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust before making connections; use appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Plug the LC connector into the matching LC port and secure the ST connector with the bayonet twist into the corresponding ST socket. Ensure both ends are correctly oriented for transmit and receive pairs to maintain full duplex communication. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks or compression, and secure with cable management clips or ties to prevent strain on connector ends. For permanent installations, label both ends for easy identification.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable indoors in temperature-controlled environments and avoid outdoor exposure or direct sunlight. Match OM2 multimode cable to compatible transceivers and equipment; for longer distances or single-mode requirements, select an appropriate fibre type. Regularly inspect and clean connector end-faces to preserve signal integrity and minimise insertion loss.
