Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O2073.2 2 m SC ST Yellow

The EFB Elektronik O2073.2 is a 2 m single-mode OS2 fibre optic patch cable with SC and ST connectors and a yellow outer jacket. Designed for point-to-point and patching applications, this cable provides full duplex transmission over a 9 µm core, ensuring low attenuation and consistent signal integrity for telecommunication and data networking environments.

Advantages

This SC–ST fibre optic cable combines compatibility with widely used connector types and the low-loss characteristics of OS2 single-mode fibre. The 2 m length is practical for rack-to-rack or shelf patching while minimizing excess loop and attenuation. The yellow jacket enables quick visual identification of single-mode links and helps with cable management in densely populated installations.

Suitable for

• Indoor backbone and patch panel connections in data centers and server rooms
• Telecommunications links requiring single-mode transmission
• Network equipment interconnects where SC and ST terminations are used
• Laboratory and testbench setups for fiber performance verification

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Single-mode OS2
• Length: 2 m
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector 1: SC
• Connector 2: ST
• Configuration: Full duplex
• Jacket colour: Yellow

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the SC connector into the corresponding SC adapter or port until it locks, and plug the ST connector into the ST socket with the bayonet twist to secure the connection. Ensure connectors and ports are clean before mating to avoid signal loss. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid tension or crushing to maintain optimal optical performance. For duplex operation, verify correct orientation of transmit and receive pairs at both ends.

Recommendations

Prior to installation, clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools and inspect with a microscope. Maintain bend radii above the manufacturer-recommended minimum to prevent increased attenuation. Store spare cables in protective reels or pouches to avoid contamination and mechanical damage.
