Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik 55008.1

The EFB Elektronik 55008.1 is an OM2 multimode fibre optic cable with a 50 µm core diameter designed for high-speed data transmission in networking environments. The cable uses standard orange multimode color coding to simplify identification and routing in installations. Its construction is intended for use in data centers, telecom distribution and general network backbones where OM2 multimode performance is required.

Advantages

This OM2 fibre optic cable provides consistent multimode transmission characteristics suitable for short- to medium-range links. The 50 µm core supports common multimode transceivers and patching equipment, enabling interoperability with existing network hardware. The orange color jacket improves visual management of cabling runs during installation and maintenance. The product is suited for structured cabling and frequent patch panel connections.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and short-reach multimode connections in data centers
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Campus and building backbone links where OM2 performance is acceptable
• Environments requiring standard multimode color identification

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM2 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Jacket color: orange (multimode standard)
• Intended use: high-speed data transmission for short- to medium-range links

How to use

Route the fibre optic cable following standard fibre-handling practices: avoid tight bends, secure the cable to prevent strain, and keep connectors and endfaces clean. Terminate or connect with compatible multimode connectors and transceivers rated for OM2 performance. Install within cable trays, conduits or patch panels as required by the site design, and label each run using the color coding and site documentation.

Recommendations

Handle the cable with care to preserve optical performance: maintain minimum bend radius, use proper strain relief at termination points, and clean connectors before mating. Verify link performance with appropriate test equipment after installation to ensure the OM2 fibre meets system requirements.
