Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOM5-5 — OM5, MTP to 12×LC, 5 m, purple

EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOM5-5 is a 5 m OM5 multimode fibre optic cable with an MTP connector at one end and 12 LC connectors at the other. The cable uses 50 µm core multimode fibre designed for high-density backbone and data-centre links, supporting multi-wavelength transmission and parallel optics applications. The purple OM5 jacket colour provides visual identification for wideband multimode deployments and the pre-terminated configuration simplifies installation in racks and patch panels.

Advantages

This OM5 fibre assembly delivers high connector density and space savings by combining 12 LC terminations on a single MTP interface. The multimode 50 µm core supports multi-wavelength operation for enhanced short-reach bandwidth and is compatible with typical data-centre transceiver modules and parallel optics systems. A 5 m length balances reach and cable management needs within equipment rooms and rack aisles, while the factory-terminated connectors reduce field termination time and potential connector losses.

Suitable for

• High-density data-centre backbone and horizontal patching
• Parallel optics and multi‑wavelength transceiver interconnects (e.g., 40G/100G applications)
• InfiniBand and high-speed network interconnects
• Patch panels and modular rack installations requiring compact multi‑fibre terminations

Key specifications

• Fibre type: multimode, 50 µm core (OM5)
• Connector A: MTP multi‑fibre connector
• Connector B: 12 × LC duplex connectors
• Length: 5 metres
• Jacket colour: purple (OM5 identification)
• Configuration: pre‑terminated trunk cable for high‑density applications

How to use

Route the cable through cable management trays or rack channels to avoid excessive bending and secure it using appropriate cable ties or management clips. Plug the MTP connector into the intended MTP port or cassette adapter, ensuring proper alignment and that the connector latch engages. Connect the LC connectors to the corresponding LC ports or patch panel adapters, observing correct polarity for your parallel optics or link configuration. Verify link integrity with optical loss testing or through the network equipment diagnostics after installation.

Recommendations

Respect the minimum bend radius and avoid tensile stress on the fibre during installation. Use dust caps until connectors are mated and perform cleaning of connector end faces before connecting. For performance verification, measure insertion loss and return loss according to installation standards and follow equipment vendor guidance for multimode, multi‑wavelength deployments.
