EFB Elektronik MPOF12MPOFOM3-3 MPO-PLUS Female to MPO-PLUS Female OM3 12-Fiber Type B LSZH Aqua Patch Cable, 3 m

Engineered for high-density fiber optic networks, this MPO-PLUS to MPO-PLUS patch cable delivers 12 OM3 multimode fibers in a single compact connector. With a maximum insertion loss of 0.35 dB per connector and a return loss of at least 20 dB, it ensures reliable signal integrity for 10G, 40G, and 100G applications.

Overview

The EFB Elektronik MPOF12MPOFOM3-3 is a factory-terminated MPO-PLUS female to MPO-PLUS female patch cable with Type B polarity. It features 12 OM3 multimode fibers (50/125 µm) in an aqua LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, ideal for data centers and enterprise backbones where safety and performance are critical. The 3-meter length provides flexible reach in high-density patching areas.

What stands out

• MPO-PLUS connectors with zirconia ceramic ferrules for precise alignment and durability.
• Type B polarity (key-up to key-up) simplifies link planning in parallel optics.
• LSZH jacket emits low smoke and zero halogen, meeting strict fire safety requirements.
• Aqua color coding for quick identification of OM3 multimode fiber.
• Attenuation of 3.5 dB/km at 850 nm and 1.5 dB/km at 1300 nm supports high-speed transmission.
