EFB Elektronik O2531 Fibre Optic Patch Cable, OS2, SC to LC, 1 m, Yellow

The EFB Elektronik O2531 is a high-performance fibre optic patch cable designed for reliable, high-speed data transmission in professional network environments. Measuring 1 meter in length, this OS2 single-mode cable features a 9 µm core diameter and is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern telecommunications and data center infrastructures. With its SC to LC connector configuration and APC polish, it ensures precise signal integrity and minimal return loss for critical network links.

Advantages

This patch cable utilizes a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which enhances safety by reducing toxic emissions in the event of a fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where safety standards are paramount. The full-duplex design allows for simultaneous bidirectional data transmission, increasing efficiency in complex network setups. Its robust construction ensures long-term durability and consistent performance, adhering to international standards for structured cabling to provide a stable connection between passive interfaces and active device ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting active network equipment in data centers
• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure
• Structured cabling systems requiring OS2 single-mode performance
• Indoor network environments where LSZH compliance is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed specifically for single-mode OS2 applications and will not function correctly in multi-mode (OM1, OM2, OM3, or OM4) network environments. Additionally, the 1-meter length may be insufficient for long-distance runs between server racks or across large facilities.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OS2 single-mode
• Length: 1 meter
• Connector 1: SC
• Connector 2: LC
• Polish type: APC
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Jacket material: LSZH
• Configuration: Full duplex
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

To install the cable, first ensure that both the SC and LC ports on your networking hardware are clean and free of dust. Carefully remove the protective caps from the connectors. Insert the SC connector into the corresponding port on your passive interface or device until it clicks into place. Repeat the process with the LC connector on the target device. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Once connected, verify the link status on your network management interface.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware supports SC and LC interface types.
• Confirm that your network infrastructure requires OS2 single-mode fibre.
• Measure the required distance between devices to ensure 1 meter is sufficient.
• Check if your local building codes require LSZH-rated cabling.

Usage recommendations: Always handle fibre optic connectors with care and avoid touching the ferrule tips. Keep the protective dust caps on the connectors whenever the cable is not in use to prevent contamination.
