Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0314.0,5 0.5m 2x LC Turquoise

The EFB Elektronik O0314.0,5 is a 0.5 m OM3 fibre optic cable with 2x LC connectors on each end (2x LC–2x LC). It is a factory-terminated fibre jumper (patchcord) designed to provide the shortest reliable optical connection between a passive interface and an active device port in structured cabling installations. The cable uses OM3 multimode fibre and is finished in a turquoise jacket for easy identification in racks and cable runs.

Advantages

This fibre optic jumper follows industry standards for structured cabling (ISO/IEC 11801) and supports high-bandwidth multimode links suitable for typical data centre and enterprise applications. Factory-terminated LC connectors ensure consistent optical performance and low insertion loss. The short 0.5 m length reduces unnecessary slack and simplifies patching between nearby ports, while the turquoise jacket improves cable management and identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches, servers and transceivers inside racks
• Patch panels and fibre adapters in data centres
• Short multimode links where OM3 performance is required
• Environments requiring clear visual identification of fibre runs

How to use

Route the 0.5 m LC–LC patchcord between the intended device port and the passive interface or patch panel, avoiding tight bends and sharp kinks. Insert LC connectors into the appropriate LC ports until they click; ensure dust caps are removed and connector endfaces are clean before mating. Use cable ties or organisers to secure the short jumper and prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean LC connector endfaces before installation, follow OM3 multimode handling guidelines to avoid bend-induced loss, and store unused cables with protective caps. For longer links or single-mode requirements, select an appropriate fibre type and cable length.
