Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0319.5-1.2 5m 2x LC

The EFB Elektronik O0319.5-1.2 is a 5-meter OM4 fibre optic cable with dual LC connectors on each end and a 50 µm core diameter. Designed for full duplex links, this cable supports high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances and is suitable for environments where consistent bandwidth and low attenuation are required.

Advantages

This OM4 fibre cable offers higher modal bandwidth compared with lower-grade multimode fibres, enabling increased data rates and improved signal integrity. Dual LC connectors provide compact, reliable terminations that are widely compatible with networking equipment. At 5 meters length the cable is long enough for flexible routing in racks and server rooms while remaining manageable and minimizing excess slack.

Suitable for

• Data centre uplinks and switch-to-switch connections
• High-speed server and storage area network links
• Telecommunications equipment racks and patch panels
• LAN backbone installations and short-reach optical links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode
• Length: 5 m
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Polishing/finish: factory-terminated connectors
• Mode: multimode, suitable for short- to medium-range high-speed links

How to use

Connect each LC connector to the corresponding LC port on the networking devices, observing transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) orientation for full duplex operation. Route the cable with gentle bends, avoiding tight radii and sharp kinks to maintain optical performance. Use cable management in racks and patch panels to secure the cable and reduce mechanical strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep bend radius above manufacturer minimum specifications, avoid exposing the cable to excessive tensile stress, and use dust caps on unused connectors. Verify connector cleanliness before insertion and perform optical testing when integrating the cable into critical links.
