Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOS2-5 5 m

The EFB Elektronik MTPF12LCOS2-5 is a 5 m OS2 single-mode fibre optic cable with an MTP multi-fibre connector on one end and 12 LC simplex connectors on the other. With a 9 µm core diameter and design optimised for OS2 transmission, the cable supports high-speed data links with low attenuation and minimal modal dispersion. The construction is intended for structured cabling in environments that require reliable, high-density connections and predictable optical performance.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact, high-density connection solution by combining an MTP trunk interface with multiple LC terminations, reducing panel space and simplifying cross-connects. Its OS2 single-mode fibre offers low insertion loss and long-distance capability compared with multimode alternatives. The factory-terminated ends and standardized connector types lower installation time and help ensure consistent optical performance across links.

Suitable for

• Data centre backbone and cross-connect installations
• High-performance computing and server interconnects
• Telecommunications and service provider fibre runs
• Optical patch panels and high-density racks

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OS2 single-mode
• Length: 5 m
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector A: MTP multi-fibre connector (12-fibre)
• Connector B: 12 × LC simplex connectors
• Polishing type: APC/UPC dependent on factory termination (verify product variant)
• Typical use: indoor, rack-to-rack and panel connections

How to use

Install the MTP connector into the appropriate MTP port on a patch panel or active device, ensuring correct polarity and alignment. Route the 5 m cable through cable management pathways and connect each LC connector into the matching LC ports on the receiving patch panel or transceiver modules. Verify connector cleanliness before mating to avoid contamination-related loss; use a fibre inspection scope and approved cleaning tools. After installation, perform optical loss and continuity tests to confirm expected performance.

Recommendations

Maintain bend radii above the fibre manufacturer’s recommended minimum during routing, keep connectors capped when not in use, and choose the correct polish type and polarity for your system. For long-term reliability in high-density installations, label both ends and document the mapping between the MTP and LC terminations.
