Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF08LCOS2-10 10 m

The EFB Elektronik MTPF08LCOS2-10 10 m fibre optic cable is a multi-fibre assembly designed for high-density networking environments. It features an MTP multi-fibre connector on one end and eight LC single-fibre connectors on the other, using OS2 single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core diameter. The cable supports high-speed data transmission with low attenuation, suitable for backbone links and connections between equipment in data centres and telecom racks.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers reliable single-mode performance with low signal loss and consistent transmission characteristics thanks to the OS2 fibre type and 9 µm core. The MTP connector provides compact, high-density multi-fibre connectivity while the eight LC connectors allow easy connection to standard transceivers and patch panels. A 10 m jacketed length gives flexibility for rack-to-rack or rack-to-equipment cabling without intermediate splicing.

Suitable for

• Data centre backbone and inter-rack connections
• High-speed networking between switches and servers
• Telecommunications equipment patching
• Environments requiring compact multi-fibre termination and LC connectivity

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OS2 single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector A: MTP multi-fibre connector (male/female depending on assembly)
• Connector B: 8 × LC single-fibre connectors
• Length: 10 m
• Jacket: jacketed cable suitable for indoor use
• Application: designed for high-density and high-speed data transmission

How to use

Route the cable between the intended connection points, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. Insert the MTP connector into the corresponding multi-fibre adapter or appliance port, ensuring proper keying and alignment. Plug each LC connector into the appropriate LC ports on transceivers, patch panels, or equipment. Verify link integrity with optical test equipment and observe transmitter/receiver indicators to confirm signal presence. Handle connectors by their housings and keep endfaces clean to maintain low insertion loss.

Usage recommendations

Maintain a minimum bend radius as specified by the fibre manufacturer, use dust caps when connectors are not installed, perform endface inspection and cleaning before mating, and store the cable coiled without tight loops. For critical links, measure insertion loss and return loss after installation and follow data centre cable management practices to reduce strain and minimize optical performance degradation.
