Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O7013.0,5

The EFB Elektronik O7013.0,5 is a 0.5 m OM3 fibre optic patch cable with ST connectors on both ends. It serves as the shortest link between a passive cabling port and an active network port or for point-to-point connections between active network ports. The cable follows standards for structured cabling (ISO/IEC 11801) and is suitable for high-speed data transmission in data centres and telecommunications environments.

Advantages

This OM3 fibre optic cable features a 50 µm core for multimode transmission and is designed for durability with aramid yarn reinforced strain relief. The halogen-free, flame-retardant jacket meets IEC-60754-2, IEC-60332-1 and IEC-61034 requirements. EFB connectors comply with minimum quality classes (Grade B/2 for singlemode and Grade A/1 for multimode as per IEC-61753 drafts). Each cable is 100% tested and supplied with an individual test report.

Suitable for

• Interconnects in data centers and server rooms
• Connections between passive patch panels and active switches
• Short point-to-point links in telecommunications racks
• Multimode OM3 network segments requiring ST connectors

How to use

Plug each ST connector into the corresponding ST receptacle on the device or patch panel, ensuring proper alignment and secure seating. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; use the aramid-reinforced strain relief to reduce stress at connector ends. For multimode OM3 performance, keep connectors clean and inspect endfaces before installation. Follow standard installation practices for structured cabling (ISO/IEC 11801).

Usage recommendations

For reliable multimode OM3 performance, keep link lengths within OM3 run recommendations, avoid tight bends (respect minimum bend radius), and use proper connector cleaning tools. Use this 0.5 m patch cable for short interconnects inside racks or between adjacent equipment to minimize loss and maintain link quality.
