Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O3061.1 1 m LC SC Orange

The EFB Elektronik O3061.1 1 m LC–SC fibre optic cable is a simplex multimode link designed for short-distance network connections. It features an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, with an OM1 core diameter of 62.5 µm and an orange jacket indicating multimode type. The cable supports full duplex transmission when used as part of paired connections and is intended for reliable data transfer in structured cabling, patching and device interconnection within local networks.

Advantages

This 1 m LC to SC fibre optic cable provides low-loss multimode performance suitable for legacy OM1 networks and mixed-equipment environments. The combination of LC and SC connectors ensures compatibility with a wide range of transceivers, patch panels and network devices. Its orange jacket visually distinguishes it as multimode fibre, simplifying installation and identification in rack and cabinet setups. The fixed connector types and polished endfaces deliver consistent signal quality and reduced return loss when properly installed.

Suitable for

• Short-distance multimode connections between switches, patch panels and transceivers
• Data centre rack patching and intra-rack links
• Laboratory and test setups requiring LC–SC interfacing
• Replacement or extension of existing OM1 multimode cabling

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode (OM1)
• Core diameter: 62.5 µm
• Length: 1 m
• Connector A: LC (single connector)
• Connector B: SC (single connector)
• Jacket colour: Orange (multimode identification)
• Transmission: Full duplex when paired appropriately

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for dirt or damage before connecting. Align and insert the LC connector into the LC receptacle and the SC connector into the SC adapter or device port until each connector latches or seats securely. Avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fibre to prevent attenuation. For full duplex operation, use a corresponding complementary fibre or duplex assembly on the opposite channel. When disconnecting, depress the LC latch and pull the SC connector by its body to avoid stressing the fibre.

Usage recommendations

Use fibre dust caps when ports are idle, clean connectors with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating, and store the cable coiled without kinks. Verify link performance with an optical power meter or network test tool after installation to confirm acceptable loss levels for OM1 multimode links.
