Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOM3-3, OM3, 3 m, MTP to 12× LC, 50 µm, purple

EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOM3-3 is a 3 m multimode fibre optic cable with OM3 specification, featuring an MTP connector on one end and 12 LC connectors on the other. With a 50 µm core diameter and violet sheath, this cable is intended for high-density network interconnects, data center patching and short- to medium-range telecom links that require multi-fiber connectivity and consistent multimode performance.

Advantages

The cable supports OM3 multimode performance suitable for 10 Gbit/s and higher aggregated links within typical OM3 reach parameters. Its MTP to 12×LC breakout design reduces rack space and simplifies multi-channel deployment while maintaining uniform attenuation across the fibres. The 3 m length is suited for intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections. The violet jacket and standardized fibre geometry help with visual identification and consistent mating in high-density panels.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Patch panel to cassette or trunk connection in data centers
• High-density interconnects between network switches and optical modules
• Aggregation links for blade servers and top-of-rack switching
• Short-reach multimode telecom links and optical distribution frames

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector A: MTP multi-fibre connector
• Connector B: 12 × LC duplex connectors
• Length: 3 m
• Jacket colour: violet
• Cable application: high-density patching and trunking

How to use

Install the MTP connector into a compatible MTP receptacle or cassette, ensuring correct keying and polarity. Route the 12 LC connectors to their corresponding LC ports or adapter panel positions, following the intended port mapping and polarity scheme. Avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius during installation and cable management. Verify optical continuity and insertion loss with appropriate test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use this OM3 multimode cable within its intended reach for 10 Gbit/s and similar applications, secure connectors in compatible panels or cassettes, and perform acceptance testing (insertion loss and continuity) after installation. Store and handle the cable to prevent excessive bending or strain on the MTP interface.
