Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0318.20 20 m SC Turquoise

The EFB Elektronik O0318.20 is a 20 m fibre optic patch cord with SC connectors on both ends and an OM4 multimode fibre core. Designed as a structured-cabling jumper, this SC–SC patchcord provides a short, direct connection between passive interfaces and active device ports and is suitable for data centres and other high-bandwidth environments. The cable has a turquoise outer sheath and is intended for high-speed data transmission where reliable multimode links are required.

Advantages

The cable uses aramid yarn reinforcement for improved tensile resistance and long-term stability. The LSZH (halogen-free, flame-retardant) sheath complies with IEC-60754-2, IEC-60332-1 and IEC-61034 standards. Connectors meet quality grades B/2 for singlemode and A/1 for multimode according to IEC-61753 series (draft references) and each patch cord is 100% checked and supplied with an individual test protocol.

Suitable for

• Short multimode links in data centres and server rooms
• High-bandwidth applications using OM4 fibre
• Connections between passive patch panels and active networking equipment

How to use

Route the 20 m SC–SC patch cord between the passive interface (for example, an SC port on a patch panel) and the active device port (for example, a switch or transceiver) ensuring bend radii are respected for multimode fibre. Clean connector end-faces before making connections to maintain performance and attach connectors until they click into the SC adapters or ports. Avoid tight bends, crushing and mechanical strain beyond normal handling to preserve transmission quality.

Recommendations

For best results, use this OM4 SC–SC patch cord in multimode installations requiring high bandwidth; keep connectors capped when not in use and verify each connection with the supplied test protocol after installation.
