EFB Elektronik O0946.2 OS2 Fibre Optic Patch Cable, SC to LC, 2 m, Yellow

The EFB Elektronik OS2 fibre optic patch cable is a high-performance solution designed for reliable data transmission in professional networking environments. With a length of 2 meters and a 9 µm core diameter, this single-mode cable ensures precise signal integrity. It features SC and LC connectors with an APC polish type, making it a robust choice for connecting passive interfaces to active device ports in structured cabling systems.

Advantages

This patch cable is constructed with a low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket, which enhances safety by reducing toxic emissions in the event of fire. The OS2 single-mode technology provides excellent performance for long-distance data transmission, while the APC connector polish minimizes back reflection, ensuring a stable and high-quality connection for sensitive network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting active network devices to patch panels
• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure
• Structured cabling systems compliant with ISO/IEC 11801
• Data center and enterprise network environments

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed specifically for single-mode fibre optic applications and is not compatible with multi-mode fibre equipment. It may not be suitable for environments requiring different connector types or lengths significantly longer than 2 meters without the use of additional coupling hardware.

Key specifications

• Fibre optic type: OS2 single-mode
• Cable length: 2 m
• Connector 1: SC
• Connector 2: LC
• Connector polish: APC
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Jacket material: Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH)
• Cable color: Yellow

How to use

To use the cable, carefully remove the protective dust caps from the SC and LC connectors. Align the connector with the corresponding port on your networking device or patch panel and insert it until you hear a secure click. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius to maintain optimal signal performance. When disconnecting, pull gently on the connector housing rather than the cable itself.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network equipment supports SC and LC interface types
• Ensure the single-mode (OS2) specification matches your existing infrastructure
• Check the required cable length to ensure 2 meters is sufficient for your setup

Usage recommendations

Always keep the connector end-faces clean and free of dust or debris to prevent signal loss or damage to the optical interface. Use appropriate fibre cleaning tools before every connection.
