Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0318.10-1.2 10 m 2x SC

The EFB Elektronik O0318.10-1.2 is a 10 m OM4 fibre optic cable with SC connectors on both ends and a 50 µm multimode core. Designed for full duplex links, this cable delivers low-attenuation optical transmission for short- to medium-range high-speed networking. Its OM4 specification optimises bandwidth for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and higher aggregated data rates in data centres, telecom racks and structured cabling installations.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers OM4 multimode performance with a 50 µm core diameter, enabling higher modal bandwidth and improved signal integrity compared with lower-grade multimode fibres. The use of SC connectors on both ends provides reliable push-pull coupling and stable mechanical connection in typical patch-panel and transceiver environments. At 10 m length, the cable offers convenient reach within racks, between equipment cabinets and for linking active devices without excess slack.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet patching in data centres and server rooms
• Interconnects between switches, transceivers and optical multiplexers
• Structured cabling runs inside telecommunications cabinets
• High-speed links for SAN, NAS and virtualization environments

Key specifications

• Length: 10 m
• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: SC to SC (duplex)
• Mode: Full duplex
• Typical application: Short- to medium-range high-speed networking

How to use

Insert the SC connectors firmly into the corresponding SC ports on the networking equipment or patch panel until the connector latch clicks into place. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid insertion loss; use appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and sharp edges, keeping bend radius within manufacturer-recommended limits for multimode fibre. For removal, depress the SC latch and pull the connector straight out to prevent damage.

Recommendations

Maintain clean connector endfaces and follow a minimum bend radius of typically 10× the cable diameter; store and handle the cable to prevent kinks, and verify link performance after installation using appropriate optical test equipment.
