Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0381.10 10 m 2x LC Yellow

The EFB Elektronik O0381.10 is a 10 m OS2 single-mode fibre optic patch cable with 2x LC connectors on both ends and a 9 µm core diameter. Designed for use in structured cabling, this yellow full-duplex cable supports long-distance, high-speed data transmission with low attenuation and consistent signal quality. It is intended for linking networking equipment such as switches, transceivers and patch panels within data centers and enterprise networks.

Advantages

This single-mode OS2 fibre cable provides low insertion loss and high return loss for reliable optical links. The 2x LC connectors deliver compact, industry-standard connections that simplify rack and panel installations while supporting full-duplex operation. The 10 m length offers flexibility for mid-distance connections without excess slack, and the yellow jacket provides clear visual identification of single-mode cabling in mixed-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, transceivers and routers in data centres
• Patch panel to transceiver links in enterprise networks
• Optical uplinks and server rack connections
• Laboratory test setups and fiber performance validation

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode OS2
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex (2x LC)
• Length: 10 m
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Jacket colour: Yellow (single-mode identification)
• Transmission: Full-duplex optical link

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness and remove protective caps before installation. Route the cable following standard bend-radius guidelines to avoid microbending losses and secure it in the rack or conduit to prevent strain. Plug LC connectors into corresponding LC ports on transceivers or patch panels, ensuring proper alignment and a firm seating. Verify link status via network equipment LEDs or optical power measurement tools to confirm acceptable insertion loss and signal level.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; use lint-free wipes and approved fiber cleaning tools for connectors. Avoid tight bends and kinks, and maintain recommended bend radius (typically ≥ 10 mm for single-mode patch cords) to preserve optical performance. For critical links, perform optical loss testing after installation and document results for future maintenance.
