Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOM4-3 — 3 m, OM4, MTP to 12×LC, 50 µm, purple

EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOM4-3 is a 3 m multimode fibre optic trunk cable with OM4 performance. It features an MTP multi-fibre connector on one end and a fanout to twelve LC connectors on the other, with a 50 µm core diameter designed for short-range, high-bandwidth links. The cable is intended for high-density network environments, enabling consolidated multi-channel connections between patch panels, transceivers and switch ports while keeping rack layouts compact and manageable.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode fibre provides improved bandwidth and lower attenuation for short-range transmissions compared with earlier multimode grades, supporting higher aggregated data rates when paired with suitable active equipment. The MTP to 12×LC fanout reduces the number of individual cables required for multi-channel links and speeds up installations by consolidating fibres into a single connector at the equipment side. The purple jacket and robust connector housings simplify identification and handling in datacentre environments.

Suitable for

• High-density patching between MPO/MTP ports and 12×LC-based transceivers
• Short-reach links inside racks and between adjacent racks in datacentres
• InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet aggregation within server rooms
• Multi-channel fibre deployments requiring consolidated trunking

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM4
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Cable length: 3 m
• Connector A: MTP multi-fibre connector
• Connector B: 12×LC connectors (fanout)
• Colour: Purple jacket
• Application: Short-range high-bandwidth links in data centres

How to use

Route the fibre cable between the MTP/MPO port on a patch panel or active device and the destination chassis or transceiver panel. Install the MTP connector into the corresponding MTP/MPO port, observing correct keying and orientation. Secure the fanout LC connectors into the LC ports of the target equipment or patch panel, ensuring each connector is fully seated. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile force during installation; use recommended bend-radius guides and cable management accessories to maintain performance.

Before connecting, inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fibre-cleaning tools if necessary. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use. For multimode OM4 links, verify link loss and polarity with suitable test equipment after installation to ensure compliance with system requirements.
