Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOM4-10

The EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOM4-10 is a 10 m OM4 multimode fibre optic cable designed for high-density network environments. It features an MTP connector on one end and 12 LC connectors on the other, with a 50 µm core diameter that supports high-speed data transmission and low attenuation across typical data centre wavelengths. The cable's construction and connector configuration enable efficient parallel optics connections and organized patching in structured cabling systems.

Advantages

This OM4 fibre cable offers a balance of distance capability and bandwidth for modern applications, with low insertion loss and return loss characteristics typical of factory-terminated MTP and LC assemblies. The 10 m length accommodates rack-to-rack or cabinet-to-cabinet connections while maintaining signal integrity. Its multimode design is suitable for short to medium reach links, and the MTP-to-LC breakout simplifies connections from high-density trunks to standard LC ports.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects and patching between equipment racks
• High-density switch and server connections using parallel optics
• Migration paths from trunk cabling to LC-terminated transceivers
• Short- to medium-reach multimode links in enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Length: 10 m
• Fiber type: OM4 multimode (50 µm core)
• Connector A: MTP (female) high-density connector
• Connector B: 12 × LC connectors (duplex style)
• Typical use wavelengths: 850 nm and 1300 nm
• Assembly: Factory-terminated, polarity managed
• Jacket: Durable outer sheath for indoor installation

How to use

Route the cable through the structured cabling pathway between the distribution panels or equipment racks, avoiding sharp bends and tension. Connect the MTP end to the corresponding MTP port on a trunk or cassette, ensuring correct orientation and pin alignment. Terminate the LC ends into the duplex LC ports on transceivers, patch panels, or active equipment. Verify polarity and perform insertion loss and continuity tests after installation to confirm correct connections and optical performance.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable within the manufacturer's recommended bend radius; avoid exceeding tensile limits during routing. Use labelled cable management and strain relief at both ends. For optimal performance in high-speed or parallel optics systems, confirm compatibility of MTP gender and keying with connected modules and perform end-to-end testing after deployment.
