Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOM4-1

The EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOM4-1 is a 1 m OM4 fibre optic cable with an MTP connector on one end and twelve LC connectors on the other. It uses a 50 µm multimode core designed for high-speed data transmission in short- to medium-range links. This cable is engineered for reliable signal integrity, low insertion loss and consistent performance in dense cabling environments such as data centres and enterprise network racks.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode construction with a 50 µm core supports elevated bandwidth for 10 Gbit/s and higher multimode applications while maintaining low attenuation. The MTP to 12×LC breakout provides a compact, single-cable trunking solution that simplifies cable management and reduces connector bulk. Durable jacket and strain-relief design increase mechanical resilience during installation and reconfiguration, helping to preserve optical alignment and maintain long-term signal quality.

Suitable for

• Data centre backbone and trunk connections
• High-density patch panels and switch-to-fiber fanouts
• Short- to medium-reach multimode links (10 Gbit/s and higher)
• Server farms and storage area networks (SAN)

Key specifications

• Cable type: OM4 multimode fibre
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 1 m
• Connector A: MTP multi-fibre connector
• Connector B: 12 × LC duplex connectors
• Typical use: Multi-fibre trunk to LC breakout for high-density environments

How to use

Route the cable following your site’s cable management practices, avoiding tight bends and areas of mechanical stress. Insert the MTP connector into the appropriate MTP/MPO adapter or module on the patch panel, ensuring proper key orientation and full seating. Connect the LC connectors to the matching LC ports on switches, transceivers or patch panels, taking care to match transmit and receive pairs. Test end-to-end optical continuity and link performance after installation using appropriate fibre test equipment.

Recommendations

Maintain bend radii above the manufacturer’s minimum, keep connectors clean using approved fibre cleaning tools, and store spare length in a controlled bend-free loop. Use this OM4 MTP-to-12×LC cable for high-density multimode links where reduced insertion loss and compact trunking aid efficient rack and patch-panel layouts.
