EFB Elektronik O0944.10 Fibre Optic Patch Cable, 10m, OS2, SC to SC, Yellow

The EFB Elektronik O0944.10 is a high-performance 10-meter fibre optic patch cable engineered for stable and efficient data transmission in professional network environments. As an OS2 single-mode cable, it is specifically designed to handle long-distance data transfer with minimal signal loss. The cable features precision-engineered SC to SC connectors with an APC polish, ensuring high return loss and reliable connectivity for demanding telecommunications infrastructure.

Advantages

This patch cable utilizes a 9 µm core diameter, which is the industry standard for single-mode fibre optics, allowing for high-bandwidth capacity and long-range signal integrity. The inclusion of a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket enhances safety by reducing toxic emissions in the event of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where fire safety regulations are strict. The yellow colour coding allows for easy identification within complex cable management systems, while the robust construction ensures long-term durability and resistance to environmental stress.

Suitable for

• High-speed telecommunications networks
• Data centre infrastructure
• Long-distance fibre optic connections
• Enterprise-level local area networks

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for single-mode applications and will not function with multi-mode fibre optic equipment. It is not suitable for outdoor environments that require direct burial or exposure to harsh weather conditions without additional protective conduit.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Fibre type: OS2 single-mode
• Connector type: SC to SC
• Polish type: APC
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Jacket material: LSZH
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

To install the cable, carefully remove the protective dust caps from the SC connectors. Align the connector key with the corresponding slot on your fibre optic transceiver or patch panel port and insert it until you hear a click. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent signal attenuation or physical damage to the glass fibre core. Once connected, secure the cable using cable ties or management trays to prevent accidental disconnection or strain on the ports.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking equipment supports SC connectors.
• Ensure that your system requires single-mode (OS2) fibre rather than multi-mode.
• Check the required cable length to ensure 10 meters is sufficient for your installation path.
• Confirm compatibility with APC polished interfaces.

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the connector end-faces for dust or debris before insertion and use a fibre optic cleaning tool if necessary to maintain optimal signal quality.
