Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOM3-2 2 m OM3 MTP to 12×LC Purple

EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOM3-2 is a 2 m multimode fibre optic cable with OM3 (50 µm) fibre designed for compact, high-density connections. One end terminates in an MTP multi-fibre connector while the other end breaks out to 12 LC duplex connectors. The cable is intended for structured cabling, data centre uplinks and high-speed interconnects where space-efficient multi-fibre links and consistent multimode performance are required.

Advantages

The cable combines a single high-density MTP connector with twelve LC terminations to simplify multi-channel connections and reduce panel congestion. OM3 multimode fibre supports laser-optimized transmission for common 10 Gbit/s and higher multimode applications, ensuring low insertion loss and reliable modal bandwidth over short to medium distances. The 2 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or patch-to-equipment connections without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching and top-of-rack or row cabling
• High-density switch-to-patch-panel or cassette connections
• InfiniBand and other short-range high-bandwidth multimode links
• Structured cabling where multi-fibre breakout is required

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode, 50 µm core
• Connector A: MTP multi-fibre connector
• Connector B: 12 × LC connectors (duplex LC terminations)
• Length: 2 m
• Cable colour: purple (industry colour coding for OM3/OM4 multimode)
• Application: short to medium distance multimode transmission, high-density interconnects

How to use

Install the MTP connector into the corresponding MTP port on a cassette, MPO panel or switch trunk, ensuring correct orientation and keying. Route the cable along standard cable management paths and secure it to avoid sharp bends; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the fibre manufacturer. Plug the individual LC connectors into the intended LC ports on switches, transceivers or patch panels, matching transmit/receive pairs as required. Test and certify the link with appropriate multimode test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and repeated flexing; use cable ties or management rings that do not compress the cable. Keep connector endfaces clean and use a fibre inspection and cleaning regimen before mating connectors. Choose OM3 multimode transceivers and equipment rated for the intended data rates and distances to ensure link integrity.
