ACT 2 meter Multimode 50/125 OM4 polarity B fiber patch cable with MTP female connectors

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable 2m Multimode 50/125 OM4 Polarity B is a 2-metre multimode fiber patch cable designed for high-density networking environments. It uses OM4-grade 50/125 µm fiber to provide increased bandwidth and lower attenuation over short to medium distances, and is fitted with MTP female connectors in a Polarity B configuration to match common MPO/MTP trunk and cassette layouts. The cable is intended for structured cabling within data centers and enterprise network racks where reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet and similar high-speed interconnects are required.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode core diameter of 50/125 µm offers improved modal bandwidth for 10 GbE and higher aggregated links, reducing the need for frequent signal regeneration across typical data center spans. MTP female connectors provide a compact, high-density connection interface compatible with many modern trunking and cassette systems, while the Polarity B wiring ensures correct signal pairing in systems designed for flipped polarity. The 2 m length balances reach and cable management options for short inter-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between network switches and patch panels in data centers
• Connection of MTP/MPO trunks to cassette modules and fanouts
• High-density fiber installations requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet links
• Short- to medium-distance multimode fiber runs within enterprise racks

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4 (50/125 µm)
• Cable length: 2 metres
• Connector type: MTP female
• Polarity: B (flipped polarity wiring)
• Typical supported links: 10 Gigabit Ethernet and aggregated high-speed multimode links
• Application environment: Data center and enterprise structured cabling

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the MTP female connector with the corresponding male or adapter port on the trunk, cassette or transceiver panel, ensuring the keyed sides match to avoid misalignment. Use the Polarity B orientation when connecting to systems designed for flipped polarity; verify continuity and correct channel mapping after installation. Route the cable following standard cable management practices, avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling forces to maintain fiber integrity and performance.

Recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Keep bend radii above manufacturer minimums, secure excess length with cable organizers, and perform optical loss testing after installation to confirm link performance meets OM4 expectations.
