EFB Electronics I-V(ZN)H2xG50/125µ OM3 Zipcord 1,8x3,7 mm Aqua

The EFB Electronics I-V(ZN)H2xG50/125µ OM3 Zipcord is a high-performance laser-optimized multimode fiber optic cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed data transmission applications. With a 50/125 µm core/cladding diameter and OM3 standard, it supports data rates up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 300 meters. The zipcord construction features two fibers joined side-by-side, making it ideal for duplex patch cord manufacturing and direct termination. The cable is halogen-free (LSZH) and flame retardant, ensuring safety in plenum and riser installations. Its aqua jacket provides easy identification as OM3 fiber.

Advantages

This cable offers excellent bandwidth performance with modal bandwidth of 1500 MHz·km at 850 nm and 500 MHz·km at 1300 nm. Low attenuation (≤2.5 dB/km at 850 nm, ≤0.8 dB/km at 1300 nm) ensures reliable signal transmission over longer distances. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and fumes in case of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where safety is critical. The zipcord design simplifies connectorization and reduces installation time.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-SR) networks
