Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOS2-3

The EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOS2-3 is a 3 m OS2 single‑mode fibre optic cable with an MTP® multi‑fiber connector on one end and 12x LC duplex connectors on the other. With a 9 µm core diameter and OS2 attenuation characteristics, this trunk cable is designed for high-speed data transmission with low insertion loss across long distances. The cable is suitable for structured cabling in data centres, telecom rooms and backbone links where dense parallel connections are required.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers a compact high-density connection using an MTP to break out into twelve LC connectors, reducing rack space and simplifying patching between MPO/MTP trunks and equipment with LC ports. The OS2 single‑mode design with a 9 µm core diameter provides low attenuation and stable performance for long-reach links. The 3 m length balances manageability in patching aisles and equipment cabinets while maintaining signal integrity for short to medium backbone segments.

Suitable for

• Data centre trunking between MTP/MPO panels and LC-based switches or transceivers
• High-density parallel optics deployments (e.g., 40G, 100G systems using MPO/MTP)
• Telecom and campus backbone cabling requiring single‑mode OS2 performance
• Interconnecting MPO/MTP cassettes and patch panels to LC ports

Key specifications

• Length: 3 m
• Fiber type: Single‑mode OS2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector A: MTP multi‑fiber (12‑fiber)
• Connector B: 12 × LC duplex
• Typical application: Trunk/patch between MPO/MTP and LC ports

How to use

Connect the MTP end to the MPO/MTP port on a cassette, trunk panel or switch module and route the 12 LC connectors to the corresponding LC ports on active equipment or patch panels. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid contamination and signal loss. Maintain proper bend radius and secure the cable to cable management elements to prevent strain or sharp bends during installation and operation.

Recommendations

Use industry‑standard cleaning tools for MTP and LC connectors, verify polarity and fiber mapping before commissioning, and label both ends to simplify future maintenance. For high‑density installations, pair this cable with compliant MTP cassettes or breakout modules and follow manufacturer guidelines for insertion loss and connector handling.
