Glasvezelkabel EFB Elektronik O0361.5 5 m

The EFB Elektronik O0361.5 5 m fibre optic cable is a single-mode OS2 patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in networking environments. It combines LC and ST connectors on a 5-metre jacketed cable with a 9 µm core diameter to support full-duplex communication and low-loss signal transfer over moderate distances. The cable is intended for linking active equipment, patch panels and optical transceivers where single-mode performance and predictable attenuation are required.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides low attenuation and stable single-mode performance due to its 9 µm core diameter and OS2 specification. The combination of LC and ST connectors enables compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment and older devices that use ST terminations. The 5 m length offers flexibility for rack, cabinet and desktop installations while keeping insertion loss and return loss within typical single-mode patch cable expectations.

Suitable for

• Connecting optical transceivers in network switches and routers
• Patch panel to active equipment connections in data racks
• Interconnecting media converters and optical distribution frames
• Laboratory or test-bench setups requiring single-mode links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode (OS2)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 5 m
• Connector types: LC connector on one end and ST connector on the other end
• Communication mode: full duplex

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before making a connection; use proper fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Align and insert the LC connector into the LC receptacle, and insert the ST connector into the ST socket, ensuring secure engagement and correct orientation. Avoid tight bends or tension on the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. When disconnecting, release any connector latches and pull by the connector body rather than the cable sheath.

Recommendations

For optimal long-term performance, store the cable coiled without sharp bends, clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning wipes or tools before each critical connection, and route the cable away from electromagnetic interference and mechanical stress. Verify compatibility of LC and ST interfaces with connected equipment and confirm link parameters after installation.
