EFB Elektronik O0944.7,5 Fibre Optic Patch Cable SC to SC 7.5m G.657.A2 OS2 Yellow

The EFB Elektronik O0944.7,5 is a high-performance 7.5-meter simplex fibre optic patch cable engineered for reliable, high-speed data transmission. This single-mode cable utilizes G.657.A2 fibre technology, which offers enhanced bend insensitivity, making it an excellent choice for complex cabling environments where space is limited. Equipped with precision SC connectors on both ends featuring APC polish, it ensures minimal signal loss and high return loss for demanding network applications.

Advantages

This patch cable is constructed with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which significantly improves safety by reducing toxic smoke emissions in the event of a fire. The G.657.A2 fibre standard provides superior flexibility and durability compared to standard single-mode fibres, allowing for tighter bend radii without compromising signal integrity. Its 7.5-meter length offers sufficient reach for connecting active network equipment to passive interfaces within server racks or telecommunications cabinets, ensuring a stable and efficient connection for your infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Data center infrastructure
• Telecommunications networks
• Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) installations
• Connecting active network devices to patch panels
• Enterprise-grade structured cabling

This cable may not be suitable for environments requiring multi-mode fibre connections, as it is strictly designed for single-mode OS2 applications. Additionally, it is not intended for outdoor use where exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme physical stress could damage the cable jacket or internal fibre strands.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7.5 m
• Fibre type: Single-mode G.657.A2 OS2
• Connector type: SC to SC
• Connector polish: APC
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

How to use

To use the EFB Elektronik patch cable, first ensure that both the active device port and the passive interface are compatible with SC APC connectors. Gently remove the protective dust caps from the connectors and the equipment ports. Align the SC connector with the port and insert it until you hear a secure click. Avoid bending the cable beyond its recommended radius during installation to maintain optimal signal performance. Once connected, secure the cable using cable management accessories to prevent accidental disconnection or strain on the ports.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your equipment supports SC APC connector interfaces.
• Ensure the 7.5-meter length is sufficient for your specific cable routing path.
• Confirm that your network infrastructure requires single-mode OS2 fibre.
• Check if your local building codes require LSZH-rated cabling for your installation environment.

Usage recommendations

Always clean the fibre optic connector end-faces with an approved cleaning tool before insertion to ensure a dust-free connection and prevent signal degradation. Keep the dust caps on the connectors whenever the cable is not in use to protect the delicate fibre tips from contamination.
