Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0330.0,5 0.5m LC Orange

The EFB Elektronik O0330.0,5 is a 0.5 m OM1 fibre optic patch cable with LC connectors on both ends. Constructed for short-range multimode links, the cable uses a 62.5 µm core diameter to support high-speed data transmission in local networks, server racks and telecommunications cabinets. The orange jacket provides standard multimode color coding to simplify cable identification and routing within densely cabled installations.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides low-loss multimode performance suitable for short distance interconnects. Dual LC connectors offer a compact form factor that fits high-density patch panels and transceiver ports. The 0.5 m length reduces signal attenuation and clutter in rack-to-rack or device-to-switch connections, while the orange jacket improves visual management of multimode infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Short-distance multimode links between switches, servers and storage arrays
• Patch panel to transceiver connections in data centers
• Telecommunications closets and LAN backbone segments
• High-density network racks where LC connectors are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM1 multimode
• Core diameter: 62.5 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket color: Orange (multimode standard)

How to use

Verify that both network ports and transceivers support multimode OM1 fiber and LC connectors. Align the LC connector keys with the receiving port and insert until a secure latch engages; repeat for the other end. Avoid tight bends and kinks near the connector ends, and route the cable following existing cable management paths to prevent strain. For installation in racks or panels, use appropriate cable ties or organizers to maintain bend radius and reduce mechanical stress.

Recommendations

Inspect connector end-faces before installation and clean with approved fiber cleaning tools if contamination is present. Use this 0.5 m OM1 cable for short multimode connections; for longer distances or higher bandwidth requirements consider multimode OM3/OM4 or single-mode alternatives. Store and handle the cable to avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius specified by industry guidelines.
