Fibre optic MTP cable EFB Elektronik MTPF24MTPFOM4-5-A — OM4, 5 m, MTP–MTP, 50 µm

EFB Elektronik MTPF24MTPFOM4-5-A is a 5 m fibre optic MTP–MTP cable with OM4 multimode fibre and a 50 µm core diameter. The cable provides multi‑fiber parallel transmission using MTP connectors on both ends and is intended for high-density data centre environments, short‑reach high bandwidth links and InfiniBand interconnects. Its construction targets reliable patching and cross‑connects between equipment racks and modules where low loss and consistent multimode performance are required.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode fibre supports higher modal bandwidth for short‑reach, high data‑rate applications while the 50 µm core ensures compatibility with common multimode transceivers. MTP connectors enable parallel multi‑fiber connections that reduce installation time compared with single‑fiber terminations and simplify high‑density cabling layouts. The 5 m length is suitable for intra‑rack and short inter‑rack patching, offering a balance between reach and signal stability.

Suitable for

• High‑density data centre patch panels and trunking
• InfiniBand and high‑speed interconnects between switches and servers
• Parallel optical transmission applications using MTP/MPO interfaces
• Short‑reach connections between equipment racks and blade enclosures

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP–MTP (multi‑fiber parallel connectors)
• Length: 5 m
• Application range: short‑reach, high bandwidth links, data centre patching

How to use

Install the MTP cable by aligning each MTP connector with the corresponding MTP adapter or transceiver interface, ensuring the keying and polarity are correct for your parallel configuration. Insert the connectors fully until they click or seat in the adapter; avoid excessive pulling or bending of the fibre near termination points. Route the 5 m cable through cable management trays or guides to prevent tight bends and secure it to reduce strain. Verify link integrity using appropriate multimode optical test equipment and follow any polarity mapping required by your parallel transceivers.

Usage recommendations

Maintain bend radii above the manufacturer’s specified minimum, keep connector end‑faces clean using approved cleaning tools, and confirm correct polarity and MTP pin alignment before powering active equipment. For best performance in high‑density environments, combine this OM4 MTP–MTP cable with compatible multimode transceivers and structured cabling components designed for parallel optics.
