EFB Elektronik OS2 SC-SC Fiber Optic Patch Cable 7.5 m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik OS2 SC-SC fiber optic patch cable is a high-performance solution designed for reliable data transmission in demanding network environments. This 7.5-meter cable features a single-mode fiber construction with a 9 µm core diameter, ensuring low signal attenuation and high bandwidth capacity for long-distance connectivity. The cable is built to full-duplex standards, allowing for simultaneous bidirectional data flow, which is essential for modern telecommunications and enterprise network infrastructures.

Advantages

This patch cable utilizes high-quality OS2 single-mode fiber, which is optimized for high-speed data transmission over extended distances. The inclusion of an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides an essential safety feature, as it minimizes toxic smoke emissions in the event of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where safety regulations are strict. The SC-SC connectors offer a secure and stable connection, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection and ensuring consistent network performance.

Suitable for

• High-speed data center interconnections
• Enterprise local area networks (LAN)
• Telecommunications infrastructure
• Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) installations
• Backbone cabling for office buildings

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed specifically for single-mode fiber applications and will not function with multi-mode fiber equipment. It is also not intended for outdoor use where it would be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme environmental conditions without additional protective conduit.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OS2 single-mode
• Connector type: SC to SC
• Cable length: 7.5 meters
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Configuration: Full-duplex

How to use

To use the cable, carefully remove the protective dust caps from the SC connectors. Align the connector key with the corresponding slot on your fiber optic transceiver or patch panel port and insert it until you hear a click, indicating a secure connection. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent signal loss or physical damage to the glass fiber core.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware uses SC interface ports.
• Confirm that your equipment requires single-mode (OS2) fiber rather than multi-mode.
• Measure the required distance to ensure 7.5 meters is sufficient for your setup.
• Check local building codes regarding the necessity of LSZH-rated cabling.

Usage recommendations: Always clean the fiber optic connector ferrules with an approved fiber cleaning tool before insertion to ensure optimal signal quality and prevent contamination of the optical ports.
