Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0314.1 1 m LC SC Turquoise

The EFB Elektronik O0314.1 1 m LC SC Turquoise is an OM3 multimode fibre optic patch cable designed for short- to medium-distance high-speed network links. It features an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, a 50 µm core diameter and supports full duplex transmission. The turquoise jacket provides quick visual identification in patch panels and cable trays while maintaining standard multimode performance characteristics.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable combines OM3 multimode performance with industry-standard LC and SC terminations to deliver reliable signal integrity and low insertion loss for data centre and enterprise environments. The 1 m length reduces excess cable management in tight rack spaces, and the 50 µm core supports high bandwidth applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances. The coloured jacket improves organisation and simplifies maintenance in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, patch panels and transceivers in data centres
• Short-reach multimode links in server rooms and telecommunications cabinets
• LAN backbone and structured cabling where LC-to-SC connections are required
• Environments requiring clear cable identification and tidy patching

Key specifications

• Type: OM3 multimode fibre optic patch cable
• Length: 1 m
• Core diameter: 50 µm (multimode)
• Connector A: LC (single duplex end)
• Connector B: SC (single duplex end)
• Mode: Full duplex
• Jacket colour: Turquoise

How to use

Connect the LC end to the LC-compatible transceiver or patch panel port and the SC end to the corresponding SC port on the switch, patch panel or device. Ensure connectors are clean and free from dust before insertion to avoid signal degradation. Route the cable along existing cable management paths, avoiding sharp bends and sources of mechanical stress; a minimum bend radius consistent with multimode fibre specifications should be maintained. For duplex links, confirm correct polarity to ensure proper full duplex communication.

Recommendations

Regularly inspect connector endfaces and clean with appropriate fibre-optic cleaning tools before mating. Use labelled cable ties or colour-coding schemes when installing multiple turquoise cables to prevent mispatching. For distances beyond OM3 recommended ranges or where single-mode performance is required, select an appropriate fibre type and link design.
