EFB Elektronik O0361.0,5 Fibre Optic Cable

The EFB Elektronik O0361.0,5 is a 0.5 m OS2 single-mode fibre optic patch cable with LC and ST connectors and a 9 µm core diameter designed for full duplex data transmission. This short-length fibre cable provides precise, low-loss optical connections between network devices where single-mode performance and stable signal quality are required. The construction and connector combination make it suitable for linking equipment in telecommunications racks, data center patch panels, and other professional networking environments where reliable single-mode links are needed.

Advantages

Compact 0.5 m length reduces excess slack in densely cabled racks and helps maintain tidy cable management. The OS2 single-mode specification and 9 µm core support long-distance, low-attenuation optical transmission characteristics typical of single-mode fibres. The LC connector offers a small form factor for high-density panels, while the ST connector provides a bayonet-style interface common in legacy and mixed-connector infrastructures. Full duplex capability enables simultaneous bidirectional communication over separate fibers.

Suitable for

• Short interconnects between patch panels and active equipment in data centers
• Telecommunications closet connections requiring single-mode OS2 performance
• Bridging equipment with LC and ST ports for migration or mixed-connector systems
• Laboratory or testing environments where precise short-length single-mode links are needed

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OS2 single-mode
• Length: 0.5 m
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connectors: LC to ST
• Mode: Full duplex (separate transmit and receive fibers)

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces and the cable for visible contamination or damage before installation. Align the LC and ST connectors with the corresponding ports on your devices or patch panels and engage the connectors until they click or lock in place (LC) or are fully seated with the ST bayonet twist. Route the cable to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for single-mode fibre to prevent increased attenuation or damage. For removal, depress the LC latch or twist and pull the ST connector while supporting the cable to avoid strain on the terminations.

Recommendations

Use dust caps on unused connectors and perform inspection and cleaning with appropriate fibre-optic tools to ensure optimal signal quality. Choose this 0.5 m single-mode LC–ST cable when you need a compact, low-loss interconnect between devices with mixed connector types, and avoid subjecting the cable to repeated tight bending, crushing, or tensile loads.
