Fibre optic MTP cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM4-5-A, OM4, 5 m, MTP–MTP, 50 µm, pink

EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM4-5-A is a 5 m multimode fibre optic cable with OM4 performance and MTP connectors at both ends. The cable uses a 50 µm core diameter and a 12-fibre MTP termination designed for high-density patching and high-bandwidth links. Its pink jacket provides clear colour coding to simplify identification in dense cabling environments. The cable is intended for short-reach, high-speed interconnects such as InfiniBand, server-to-switch links and other data-centre applications that require low insertion loss and reliable multimode transmission.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode glass and 50 µm core deliver higher bandwidth and extended reach compared with lower-grade multimode types, enabling sustained performance for 10 Gb/s, 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s links where multimode is applicable. MTP terminations provide compact, high-density connections that reduce rack space and simplify cross-connects. The 5 m length offers a balance between flexibility and predictable signal attenuation for typical rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment runs. Colour-coded outer jacket (pink) helps with fast identification and reduces the risk of connection errors during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Data centre horizontal and backbone links
• InfiniBand and other high-bandwidth interconnects
• Server-to-switch, switch-to-switch short-reach connections
• High-density fibre panels and MPO/MTP trunking

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP to MTP, 12-fibre
• Length: 5 m
• Jacket colour: pink
• Intended use: multimode short-reach data links

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each MTP connector with the corresponding MTP adapter or port, ensuring correct keying and polarity. Insert the connector until the latch engages and verify the connection status on network equipment. Avoid tight bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the connector manufacturer when routing through racks or cable guides. For best results, route the cable separately from high-power electrical cabling and secure it to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces before mating and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if contamination is detected. Use OM4-compatible transceivers and follow recommended polarity mapping for MTP systems. Store unused ends with protective caps and avoid repeated mating cycles beyond the connector’s rated life to preserve signal quality.
