EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM4-7,5 OM4 MTP to MTP Fibre Optic Cable 7.5 m

The EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM4-7,5 is a high-performance 7.5-meter fibre optic patch cable engineered for demanding professional networking environments. Utilizing OM4 multimode technology with a 12-fibre configuration, this cable provides a robust solution for high-speed data transmission. It features MTP female connectors on both ends, ensuring seamless integration into existing high-density infrastructure. The cable is constructed with a 50 µm core diameter and a low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket, prioritizing both signal integrity and safety in enclosed spaces.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers exceptional reliability for high-bandwidth applications, supporting data transmission speeds of up to 100 Gbit/s. The use of high-quality US Conec connectors ensures precise alignment and minimal signal loss, which is critical for maintaining stable network performance. The LSZH jacket material provides enhanced fire safety by reducing toxic smoke emissions in the event of a fire, making it suitable for data centers and server rooms. Its 12-fibre design allows for efficient space utilization in high-density cabling environments, while the violet colour coding helps in easy identification and cable management.

Suitable for

• Server-to-server connections
• Switch-to-switch links
• High-speed data center infrastructure
• InfiniBand applications
• 100 Gigabit transmission links

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-distance outdoor installations or environments where extreme physical stress or moisture exposure is expected. It is specifically designed for indoor structured cabling and may not be compatible with hardware requiring different connector types or single-mode fibre standards.

How to use

To install the cable, carefully remove the protective dust caps from the MTP connectors. Ensure that the ports on your networking equipment are clean and free of debris. Insert the MTP connector into the corresponding port until you hear a secure click. As this is a Type B crossed cable, ensure it is correctly integrated into your specific transmission link architecture to maintain proper signal polarity. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent fibre damage and signal degradation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking equipment supports MTP female interfaces.
• Confirm that your system architecture requires a Type B (crossed) cabling configuration.
• Ensure the 7.5-meter length is sufficient for your specific rack or server layout.
• Check that the OM4 standard is compatible with your existing transceivers.

Usage recommendations

Always handle fibre optic connectors with care and keep them clean. Use a lint-free wipe and appropriate cleaning solution if the connector faces become contaminated. Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
