InfiniBand/fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik ST/ST 50/125µ 2m

The EFB Elektronik ST/ST 50/125µ 2m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a multimode duplex fibre cable terminated with ST connectors on both ends and a 2 meter length. It is intended for high-speed data links where low attenuation and consistent optical performance are required. The cable's 50/125µ multimode core and standardized ST terminations provide compatibility with a range of networking equipment used in data centers, server rooms and telecommunications racks.

Advantages

The cable offers low signal loss and stable transmission characteristics typical of 50/125µ multimode fibre, and the ST/ST terminations enable straightforward mating with equipment that accepts bayonet-style connectors. Its 2 m length supports short-range interconnects without excess slack, while the robust jacket and connector strain relief improve durability and reduce the risk of damage during installation and routine maintenance.

Suitable for

• Short-range interconnects between network switches, SAN devices and servers
• InfiniBand and fibre optic links in data center racks
• Patch panel connections and fibre patching in telecommunication closets
• High-bandwidth applications requiring multimode fibre infrastructure

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode 50/125 µm
• Connector type: ST to ST (duplex)
• Length: 2 m
• Cable construction: Duplex multimode with protective outer jacket and strain relief
• Application: InfiniBand and multimode fibre optic networks

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting each ST connector into the corresponding ST receptacle until the bayonet coupling engages and locks. Route the cable through rack channels or cable management trays to avoid sharp bends; maintain bend radii recommended for multimode fibre to prevent increased attenuation. Ensure connectors are clean before connection to avoid signal degradation; use appropriate fibre cleaning tools if contamination is present. When disconnecting, depress the bayonet coupling and withdraw the connector without twisting to avoid stressing the fibre.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable according to standard fibre optic practices: keep connectors capped when not in use, avoid tight bending and tensile stress, and perform regular connector cleaning and inspection to maintain reliable high-speed transmission.
