Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0318.3OM5 3 m 2x SC Green

The EFB Elektronik O0318.3OM5 3 m 2x SC Green is a 3-metre OM5 multimode fibre optic patch cable with two SC connectors on each end, designed for duplex links in modern network environments. Its 50 µm core diameter supports high-bandwidth short-range transmission and is suitable for structured cabling, data centres and enterprise networks where reliable fibre connections are required.

Advantages

This OM5 fibre cable offers consistent optical performance across short to medium distances and is optimized for multi-wavelength operation. The SC connectors provide easy insertion and secure mechanical connection with low insertion loss. The 3 m length allows flexible placement between racks, panels or active equipment while the green jacket colour aids visual identification of OM5 multimode links in mixed-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Duplex connections between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Short-range high-bandwidth links in data centres
• Enterprise and campus structured cabling
• Testing and lab environments requiring reliable multimode fibre

Key specifications

• Length: 3 metres
• Fibre type: OM5 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: SC to SC, duplex (2x SC per end)
• Jacket colour: green (OM5 identification)
• Transmission mode: multimode, full duplex

How to use

Connect one SC connector to the transmitting port of the source device and the matching SC connector to the receiving port of the target device, observing correct polarity for duplex links. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid contamination-related loss; use a fibre-cleaning tool or lint-free wipes with appropriate cleaner. Route the cable without tight bends and secure it with cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep bend radii above the manufacturer’s minimum, avoid compressing the cable in patch panels, and use dust caps when ports are unused. Use this OM5 cable where multi-wavelength multimode transmission or simplified identification of multimode links is required.
