Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O2073.1 1 m SC ST Yellow

The EFB Elektronik O2073.1 1 m SC–ST fibre optic cable is a single-mode OS2 patch lead designed for short interconnects and equipment links. It features an SC connector on one end and an ST connector on the other, a 9 µm core diameter for single-mode transmission and a yellow outer jacket to conform with fibre-optic colour coding. The cable supports full-duplex optical communication and is intended for reliable, low-loss data transmission in network installations, test environments and point-to-point links.

Advantages

This 1 m SC–ST fibre patch cable provides low attenuation and stable single-mode performance thanks to its 9 µm core. The SC and ST connectors offer wide compatibility with common networking equipment and fibre panels; SC provides a push-pull locking interface while ST offers a bayonet-style connection. The yellow jacket makes identification in cable bundles straightforward, and the compact length minimises excess slack in rack or cabinet installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting single-mode transceivers and networking equipment with SC or ST ports
• Patch panels and fibre distribution frames in data centres and telecom racks
• Lab test setups and short point-to-point optical links
• Upgrades and repairs where a short, colour-coded single-mode cable is required

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode OS2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connectors: SC (one end) to ST (other end)
• Length: 1 metre
• Jacket colour: yellow
• Mode: full duplex

How to use

Ensure both devices are powered down or that hot-swap procedures are followed according to equipment guidelines. Remove protective caps from both connectors before insertion. Insert the SC connector into the SC receptacle using the push-pull motion until it seats securely; insert the ST connector into the ST port and engage the bayonet locking mechanism. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Replace dust caps when the cable is not in use to protect end faces.

Recommendations

Handle fibre ends carefully and inspect connector end faces for dust or contamination before connecting. Use appropriate cleaning tools if contamination is present. For installations in racks or cabinets, secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors and avoid running near high-power electrical lines to minimise potential interference pathways.
