EFB Elektronik OM3 Fibre Optic Patch Cable SC-SC, 7.5 m, Turquoise

The EFB Elektronik OM3 fibre optic patch cable is a high-performance connectivity solution designed for demanding network environments. Featuring SC to SC connectors and a length of 7.5 meters, this cable supports reliable, high-speed data transmission. The 50/125 µm multimode fiber construction ensures optimal signal integrity, making it a dependable choice for professional data center and enterprise network infrastructures.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional durability and consistent performance for high-bandwidth applications. The OM3 fiber standard allows for efficient data transfer over longer distances compared to older standards, while the high-quality SC connectors provide a secure and stable connection. The turquoise LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety by reducing toxic emissions in the event of fire, ensuring compliance with modern building standards.

Suitable for

• High-speed data center networking
• Enterprise local area networks (LAN)
• Fiber optic backbone connections
• Server-to-switch data transmission

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor use or environments exposed to direct sunlight and moisture, as the jacket is not rated for external weather conditions. Additionally, it is not compatible with single-mode fiber optic equipment, as it is specifically designed for multimode systems.

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC to SC
• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Cable length: 7.5 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Cable configuration: Duplex

How to use

To install the cable, carefully remove the protective dust caps from the SC connectors. Ensure that the fiber ports on your networking equipment are clean and free of debris. Insert the connectors into the corresponding SC ports until you hear a distinct click, indicating a secure lock. Avoid bending the cable 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 networking hardware supports SC interface connections.
• Ensure the OM3 multimode specification matches your existing network infrastructure.
• Measure the required distance to confirm that 7.5 meters is sufficient for your setup.

Usage recommendations

Always handle fiber optic cables with care and avoid touching the connector tips. If the connection quality is poor, use a specialized fiber optic cleaning tool to remove dust or oils from the connector end-faces before re-inserting.
