Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF08LCOM4-3 3 m

The EFB Elektronik MTPF08LCOM4-3 is a 3 m OM4 fibre optic cable with an MTP connector on one end and LC connectors on the other, designed for high-density network environments. With an OM4 multimode fibre and a specified core parameter of 0.35 µm, this cable supports full duplex transmission and is intended for short to medium reach high-speed data links in data centers, enterprise networks and telecommunication rooms.

Advantages

This OM4 fibre cable offers low insertion loss and consistent multimode performance across short-range high-bandwidth links. The MTP connector provides high-density, multi-fibre connectivity while the LC connectors enable easy connection to transceivers and patch panels. The 3 m length is practical for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch panel connections, combining manageable cable management with the performance characteristics required for 10G/40G parallel optics and other multimode applications.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects and rack-to-rack links
• High-density patch panels and backbone multimode links
• Parallel optics systems and MPO/MTP breakout assemblies
• Connections between MTP-enabled trunks and LC transceivers or switches

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Length: 3 metres
• Connectors: MTP on one end, LC duplex on the other
• Transmission: full duplex multimode
• Core parameter: 0.35 µm (specified)
• Application: short- to medium-reach high-speed links

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting the MTP connector into the corresponding MTP trunk or adapter, ensuring correct polarity and connector orientation. Plug the LC duplex connectors into the intended transceivers, switch ports or patch panel ports. Route the cable through existing cable management pathways, avoiding tight bends and excessive pulling force; observe manufacturer bend radius and strain-relief recommendations to maintain optical performance. Test the link after installation using appropriate optical loss or certification equipment to confirm insertion loss and channel performance.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not connected and use fibre inspection tools to verify endface cleanliness before mating. For optimal performance in 40G or parallel optics deployments, confirm polarity and mapping between MTP and LC terminations and use appropriate trunks and harnesses matched to OM4 multimode specifications.
