Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0323.1OM5 1 m 2x SC 2x LC Green

The EFB Elektronik O0323.1OM5 is a 1 m fibre optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in modern networks. It uses OM5 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter and provides full-duplex connectivity via two SC connectors on one end and two LC connectors on the other. The cable's green jacket identifies it as OM5 multimode fibre, suited for systems that require wideband multimode performance and short to medium reach links.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers stable performance for duplex links, low insertion loss and reduced crosstalk thanks to the paired connector configuration. The combination of SC and LC terminations enables flexible connection between equipment with different port types without additional adapters. OM5 multimode fibre supports wavelength division multiplexing across multimode fibre and can improve capacity on existing multimode infrastructures while retaining compatibility with standard multimode transceivers.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch short-distance connections in data centers
• Patch panel to active equipment links in enterprise networks
• High-density network cabinets requiring mixed connector types
• Test setups and lab environments needing reliable duplex fibre links

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM5 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 1 m
• Connector A: 2 × SC (duplex)
• Connector B: 2 × LC (duplex)
• Jacket color: green (OM5 identification)
• Transmission: full duplex multimode link

How to use

Connect the SC end to the corresponding SC duplex ports and the LC end to the matching LC duplex ports, observing correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force; maintain minimum bend radius specified by standard multimode cabling guidelines. Ensure connectors and ports are clean before insertion to minimize insertion loss and protect performance.

Recommendations

For best results, use this OM5 cable in short to medium reach multimode environments and pair it with compatible multimode transceivers. Regularly inspect and clean ferrules with appropriate fibre cleaning tools, secure the cable in racks or trays to prevent strain, and avoid running fibre alongside high-power electrical cabling to reduce potential interference and mechanical damage.
