Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O6023.7 — 7 m, OM1 (62.5 µm), ST–ST, orange

EFB Elektronik O6023.7 is a 7 m fibre optic patch cable with OM1 multimode fibre (62.5 µm core diameter) and ST connectors on both ends. The cable’s orange jacket identifies it as multimode and makes it easy to route and trace in racks and patch panels. Designed for short-range multimode links, this fibre optic cable provides a low-loss optical path suitable for legacy multimode equipment and common data centre patching applications.

Advantages

The 7 m length balances reach and manageability for rack-to-rack or panel-to-equipment connections. OM1 multimode construction ensures compatibility with older multimode transceivers and installed base equipment that expect a 62.5 µm core. ST–ST connectors provide quick, tool-free insertion and reliable mechanical coupling for standard multimode fibre ports. The bright orange outer jacket improves visibility in cable bundles and facilitates organized routing in network enclosures.

Suitable for

• Short-distance multimode connections within data centres and server rooms
• Patch panels and network racks
• Legacy multimode transceivers and equipment using 62.5 µm core fibre
• Laboratory or test bench optical connections requiring ST connectors

Key specifications

• Length: 7 m
• Fibre type: OM1 multimode
• Core diameter: 62.5 µm
• Connector type: ST to ST
• Jacket colour: Orange

How to use

Uncoil the cable and route it through the rack or cable management system, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. Align each ST connector with the corresponding ST port and insert until the bayonet coupling clicks into place. Verify optical link status with the connected equipment or an optical power meter. For temporary test setups, handle the ferrule ends carefully and cap unused connectors to prevent contamination.

Recommendations

Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius, keep connector end faces clean using appropriate fibre-cleaning tools, and store the cable coiled without tight loops. Use the orange jacket to separate multimode runs from single-mode infrastructure and label both ends when deploying in racks or patch panels to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
