EFB Elektronik O3481.2 Fibre Optic Cable, 2 m, LC to 12x LC, OM2 Multimode

The EFB Elektronik O3481.2 is a high-quality fibre optic cable designed for efficient and reliable data transmission in professional networking environments. Measuring 2 meters in length, this multimode OM2 cable features a 50 µm core diameter, ensuring precise signal integrity for demanding infrastructure setups. The cable is engineered with a single LC connector on one end and a breakout of 12 LC connectors on the other, facilitating organized and effective connectivity in patch panels and high-density network equipment.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers exceptional durability and performance for high-speed data networks. By utilizing OM2 multimode technology, it provides a stable and consistent connection suitable for short-to-medium range data transmission. The breakout design with 12 LC connectors allows for streamlined cable management, reducing clutter in server racks and improving airflow. Its high-precision construction ensures minimal signal loss, making it a dependable choice for maintaining robust network uptime.

Suitable for

• High-density data center networking
• Connecting patch panels to active network equipment
• Professional telecommunications infrastructure
• Local area network (LAN) backbone installations

This cable may not be suitable for long-distance outdoor installations or environments requiring single-mode fibre specifications. It is specifically designed for indoor multimode applications and will not function correctly in systems requiring single-mode transmission standards.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 meters
• Fibre type: OM2 Multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: 1x LC to 12x LC
• Application: Indoor networking

To use this cable, carefully remove the protective dust caps from the LC connectors immediately before installation to prevent contamination of the fibre end-faces. Insert the connectors into the corresponding ports on your networking hardware until you hear a distinct click, ensuring a secure physical connection. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent internal fibre damage and signal degradation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware supports OM2 multimode fibre specifications
• Ensure the LC connector interface matches your existing patch panel or switch ports
• Check the required cable length for your specific rack configuration

Usage recommendations: Always clean the fibre optic connector end-faces with an approved cleaning tool before insertion to ensure optimal signal performance. Keep the cable away from sharp edges and avoid excessive tension during installation to maintain the integrity of the glass fibre core.
