Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O1403.10 — 10 m, G.657.A2, LC–LC, I‑V(ZN) H, 9 µm, yellow

Single-mode fibre optic patch cable EFB Elektronik O1403.10 is a 10 m LC–LC jumper designed for fibre links that require bend-insensitive performance and compact LC termination. The cable uses G.657.A2 fibre with a 9 µm core diameter, enclosed in a yellow jacket and built to construction type I‑V(ZN) H. This assembly provides stable single-mode transmission suitable for rack patching, data centre interconnects and telecom client installations where consistent optical performance and clear identification are needed.

Advantages

The G.657.A2 bend-insensitive fibre reduces loss from tight bends and routing in dense installations, while the LC–LC terminations offer a small-form-factor connector for high-density panels. The yellow jacket allows quick visual identification of single-mode lines. The construction type I‑V(ZN) H ensures a balanced combination of mechanical protection and flexibility for typical indoor cabling routes.

Suitable for

• Patching in data centres and server racks
• Interconnecting optical equipment with LC ports
• Telecom and fibre-to-the-desk installations
• InfiniBand and other single-mode optical links

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Fibre type: single-mode G.657.A2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector type: LC–LC (both ends)
• Jacket colour: yellow
• Cable construction: I‑V(ZN) H

How to use

Route the LC–LC patch cable between compatible LC ports on transceivers, patch panels or active equipment. Avoid sharp bends below the recommended bend radius for G.657.A2 to maintain low insertion loss. Insert LC connectors until the latch clicks; ensure connectors and adapter ferrules are clean before mating to prevent contamination-related losses. When not in use, coil the cable loosely without tight loops to preserve fibre integrity.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools prior to installation, keep bend radii above manufacturer guidelines, and secure the cable to avoid mechanical strain near connectors. Use this cable for indoor installations and patching where single-mode, LC-terminated, bend-insensitive performance is required.
