Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOS2-2

The EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOS2-2 is a 2 m OS2 single-mode fibre optic cable designed for high-density connections. It combines a single MTP multi-fiber connector on one end with twelve LC connectors on the other, providing a compact solution for splitting a 12-fibre trunk into individual LC terminations. The cable uses a 9 µm single-mode core diameter that supports long-distance, low-loss optical transmission suitable for modern high-speed networking environments such as data centres and telecommunication racks.

Advantages

This multifunctional fibre assembly offers a balance of density and manageability by bringing an MTP interface together with individual LC outputs. The OS2 single-mode construction with a 9 µm core minimises attenuation and modal dispersion, enabling stable high-bandwidth signals. At 2 m length the cable is convenient for connections within racks or between adjacent equipment, and the robust connector housings reduce the risk of mechanical damage during installation and reconfiguration.

Suitable for

• Data centre backbone and patching between MTP trunks and LC-based equipment
• High-speed network links, including 10G, 40G and 100G deployments where MTP-LC breakout is required
• Telecommunications racks, optical distribution frames and server interconnects

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OS2, single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector (end A): MTP multi-fiber connector, 12-fibre
• Connector (end B): 12 × LC connectors
• Length: 2 m
• Mode: Single-mode, for long-distance low-loss transmission
• Construction: Indoor-rated assembly with reinforced connector boots

How to use

Install the MTP connector into the corresponding MTP adapter or cassette in the patch panel, ensuring correct orientation and secure latch engagement. Route the 2 m cable to the target equipment and connect the LC connectors to the devices' LC ports, observing correct polarity and channel mapping. Avoid tight bends and maintain proper bend radius during installation. Test each channel with appropriate optical test equipment to verify insertion loss and continuity after installation.

Recommendations

For best performance, store and handle the cable by the connector boots, keep dust caps on unused connectors, and use cleaning tools before mating connectors. Maintain bend radius of at least 30 mm for single-mode fibres and avoid excessive pulling force. Use this 2 m MTP-to-LC assembly for short intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections where a 12-fibre breakout is needed.
