Equip 25555317 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m MTP Violet

The EQUIP 25555317 3m MTP fibre optic cable is designed for high-density network environments and high-speed data transmission. This 3-meter cable uses OM4 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter and MTP connectors on both ends to provide low-loss, consistent optical performance suitable for modern data centres and enterprise network backbones. The cable construction supports stable multi-channel connections and is intended for structured cabling systems where space efficiency and predictable optical characteristics are required.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode fibre delivers improved bandwidth and extended reach compared with lower-grade multimode fibres, enabling higher data rates over short to medium distances. MTP connectors provide reliable multi-fiber alignment and fast plug-and-play installation in MPO/MTP-compatible panels and modules. The 3 m length balances flexibility and manageability in rack-to-rack or equipment-to-panel connections while minimising excess slack and potential signal degradation due to unnecessary cable length.

Suitable for

• High-density data centre patching and interconnects
• 40G/100G and other parallel optics applications using OM4 multimode fibre
• Structured cabling between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Short- to medium-reach multimode links within enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Cable length: 3 metres
• Connector type: MTP on both ends (multi-fiber MPO-compatible connector)
• Application: Multi-channel parallel optics and high-density patching

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the MTP connector keys with the corresponding receptacles in MPO/MTP modules, adapters or transceiver equipment. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid contamination-related loss; use appropriate fibre cleaning tools and visual inspection where available. Route the cable with gentle bends respecting minimum bend radius guidelines and secure it in cable management systems or trays to prevent strain on connectors and fibre cores. For best results, test insertion loss and end-to-end link performance after installation using suitable optical test equipment.

Recommendations

Store and handle the OM4 multimode cable in a dry, dust-free environment and avoid tight bends or kinks. Clean connectors prior to each connection and use verified MPO/MTP adapters and panels for optimal alignment. Choose the 3 m length for direct equipment-to-panel connections to reduce excess slack; if longer runs are needed, select appropriate lengths to maintain signal performance.
