Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik O7353.20 20 m SC ST Turquoise

The EFB Elektronik O7353.20 is a 20 m OM3 fibre optic patch cord with SC and ST connectors. It has a 50 µm core diameter and is intended for high-speed networking links where multimode fibre is required. The cable is turquoise for easy identification in structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The patch cord uses aramid yarn reinforcement to improve tensile resistance and long-term mechanical stability. Its LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) sheath is halogen-free and flame-retardant, complying with IEC-60754-2, IEC-60332-1 and IEC-61034 standards. Connectors meet defined optical quality grades for reliable performance, and each unit is 100% tested and delivered with an individual test protocol.

Suitable for

• Multimode OM3 network links
• Data centre patching and horizontal cabling
• Connections between passive fibre panels and active equipment
• Short-run backbone and equipment interconnects

Key specifications

• Length: 20 m
• Fibre type: Multimode OM3
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector A: SC
• Connector B: ST
• Sheath: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen), flame retardant
• Reinforcement: Aramid yarn for tensile strength
• Colour: Turquoise

How to use

Route the fibre patch cord following standard cabling practice, avoiding tight bends and mechanical stress. Plug the SC and ST connectors into the corresponding ports on patch panels or active devices until they engage securely. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid signal loss; use a suitable fibre cleaning tool if necessary. Coil excess length without sharp bends and secure the cable so it does not stress the connector ends.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in OM3 links, maintain bend radii above the manufacturer's minimum, keep connectors clean and store the patch cord in a dry environment. Use this multimode cable for short to medium distance links typical in data centres and telecom rooms.
