Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0323.5-1.2 5m 2x SC 2x LC

The EFB Elektronik O0323.5-1.2 is a 5 m OM4 multimode fibre optic cable with two SC connectors on one end and two LC connectors on the other. Designed for full duplex data transmission, this cable uses a 50 µm core diameter to support high-speed links in short- to medium-range installations. Its construction balances signal integrity and flexibility for professional networking environments such as data centres, server rooms and structured cabling systems.

Advantages

This OM4 fibre optic cable offers enhanced bandwidth and lower attenuation compared with lower-grade multimode fibres, enabling reliable high-capacity links over longer multimode distances. The paired SC and LC connector arrangement provides compatibility with a wide range of active equipment and patch panels. The 5 m length reduces excess slack in organized racks and helps maintain neat cable management while preserving optical performance.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• High-density server rack interconnects requiring mixed connector types
• Short- to medium-range multimode links for enterprise LANs and storage networks
• Upgrading existing multimode infrastructure to OM4 for higher bandwidth

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 5 m
• Connector configuration: 2x SC to 2x LC
• Transmission mode: full duplex
• Typical application: short- to medium-range high-speed links

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable jacket for damage before installation. Route the fibre to avoid sharp bends, crushing or tight tie points; maintain minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fibre. Insert the SC and LC connectors into the corresponding ports on transceivers, patch panels or network devices, ensuring secure latching. Verify link status and run optical power or continuity tests to confirm correct installation and signal levels.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by its reinforced jacket and connectors, avoid touching the fibre endfaces, and use dust caps during storage. Use fibre-cleaning tools to remove contamination from connector endfaces before mating. For organized installations, label both ends and secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories to prevent strain and preserve optical performance.
