Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0312FT.0,5

The EFB Elektronik O0312FT.0,5 is a 0.5 m OM3 fibre optic cable with LC connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed multimode data transmission. Its I-V(ZN) HH construction provides consistent signal integrity and mechanical reliability in short-reach networking environments. The aqua jacket follows common industry color coding for OM3, and the compact 0.5 m length is convenient for patching in dense racks, cross-connects and within equipment cabinets where space is limited.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable supports the bandwidth and modal characteristics of OM3 multimode fiber, enabling reliable transmission for 10 Gbps and higher short-range links when used in compatible systems. The LC–LC termination offers a small form-factor connector that simplifies port density management. The cable's short length reduces excess slack in racks and helps maintain neat cable routing. The jacket and connector assembly are built to withstand repeated insertions and typical data-center handling.

Suitable for

• Patch connections in data centers and server rooms
• Interconnects between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• High-density networking racks and equipment cabinets
• Short-reach multimode links for storage area networks (SAN)

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM3 multimode
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Jacket color: aqua
• Construction: I‑V(ZN) HH cable design for patching
• Suitable for high-speed short-range multimode transmission

How to use

Connect each LC connector to the appropriate LC port on networking equipment, transceivers or patch panels, observing correct duplex orientation for transmit and receive channels. Avoid tight bends and kinks; maintain the cable's minimum bend radius during installation. Route the cable through cable management brackets or tie points to keep patch fields organized and to prevent strain on the connectors. For removal, depress connector latches gently and pull straight out to avoid damaging ports.

Recommendations

To ensure consistent performance, inspect connector endfaces before insertion and clean them with an appropriate fiber cleaning tool when necessary. Use this 0.5 m OM3 LC–LC patch cable for short patch runs where minimal slack and high port density are required, and avoid exposing the cable to sharp edges, excessive tensile load or environments outside typical data-center conditions.
