EFB Elektronik MPOF12MPOFOM3-2 MPO-PLUS Female to MPO-PLUS Female OM3 12-Fiber Type B LSZH Aqua Patch Cable, 2 m

This EFB Elektronik MPO-PLUS to MPO-PLUS patch cable is built for high-density fiber environments where 12 fibers must be connected in one motion. Unlike duplex jumpers that require six separate connections, this single MPO assembly uses a 12-fiber OM3 multimode ribbon and Type B polarity to link 40G and 100G parallel optics without polarity headaches.

Highlights

• MPO-PLUS female connector on both ends with key-up to key-up orientation
• 12 multimode OM3 fibers, 50/125 µm core/cladding diameter
• Type B (cross-over) polarity for direct transceiver-to-transceiver links
• LSZH aqua jacket, 2 m length, low smoke and halogen-free
• Insertion loss under 0.35 dB per connector pair, return loss over 20 dB

In daily use

The aqua LSZH jacket identifies OM3 at a glance and keeps smoke and toxic fumes low if a fire occurs. The MPO-PLUS ferrule design improves mating durability, while the 2 m length suits patching between adjacent racks or within a row. Operating range is -20 °C to +70 °C, so it works in standard data center aisles.
