Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O0947.5 5 m SC LC Yellow

The EFB Elektronik O0947.5 is a 5 m OS2 fibre optic patch cable with one SC connector and one LC connector, designed for single-mode data transmission. With a 9 µm core diameter and yellow jacket for easy identification, this cable supports long-distance, low-loss optical links in network installations, telecom equipment and server rooms.

Advantages

This SC–LC single-mode fibre cable provides low insertion loss and high return loss typical for OS2 specification, ensuring reliable signal integrity over extended runs. The 5 m length suits common patching distances without excess slack, while the yellow jacket color improves visual management and reduces the risk of connection errors. The combination of SC and LC connectors allows compatibility between different transceivers and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting single-mode transceivers and patch panels with SC and LC ports
• Data center and server rack interconnects over short to medium distances
• Telecommunications links and carrier-grade optical connections
• Laboratory setups and optical test equipment

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode (OS2)
• Length: 5 meters
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector types: SC to LC
• Jacket color: Yellow
• Typical application: Patch cable for networking and telecom

How to use

Verify that the SC and LC ports on your devices are clean and free from dust before making the connection. Align and insert the SC connector into the SC adapter or port and the LC connector into the LC transceiver or patch panel until each connector clicks or seats firmly. Avoid bending the cable sharply; maintain minimum bend radius recommended for single-mode fibre to prevent increased attenuation or damage. When removing the cable, pull gently on the connector body rather than the cable jacket.

Recommendations

Inspect connectors with a fibre inspection tool when troubleshooting signal issues and follow standard fiber handling procedures: keep dust caps on unused connectors, label both ends if integrating into larger installations, and route the cable through cable management to avoid mechanical stress.
