Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O6423.050 0.5 m SC Orange

The EFB Elektronik O6423.050 is a 0.5 m OM1 fibre optic patch cable with SC connectors on both ends. Its 62.5 µm core diameter and duplex configuration provide reliable single‑mode style connection for multimode systems, enabling high-speed data transmission in short-distance network segments. The cable's orange jacket allows straightforward visual identification and simplified cable management in racks and patch panels.

Advantages

The cable delivers stable optical performance for multimode links and supports full duplex communication through paired SC connectors. Its short 0.5 m length reduces signal attenuation in tight patching situations and limits excess cable in dense installations. The standardized SC connectors ensure broad compatibility with networking equipment and optical transceivers commonly used in data centers, telecom closets, and industrial network nodes.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, routers and transceivers in rack cabinets
• Short-distance multimode connections in data centers and server rooms
• Fiber backbone terminations and distribution panels
• Laboratory testing and temporary fiber links during installations

Key specifications

• Length: 0.5 m
• Fiber type: OM1 multimode
• Core diameter: 62.5 µm
• Connector type: SC to SC, duplex
• Jacket color: orange
• Polish/type: standard multimode endface

How to use

Connect each SC connector to the corresponding SC port on your transceivers, patch panels or switch interfaces, ensuring a secure push‑pull engagement until the connector latches. Observe correct duplex orientation (Tx/Rx alignment) so transmit and receive channels are matched between devices. Avoid sharp bends and kinks when routing the cable; maintain the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation or damage to the fiber.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep connectors clean and protected when not in use by using dust caps. Use this 0.5 m OM1 SC duplex cable for short patch connections where OM1 bandwidth and 62.5 µm core are sufficient; for longer runs or higher bandwidth requirements, consider multimode variants with higher graded specifications or singlemode alternatives.
