Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM4-1 1 m OM4

The EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM4-1 1 m OM4 fibre optic cable is a dual-ended MTP trunk designed for high-density, high-speed network environments. With a 50 µm core diameter and OM4 multimode specification, this 1 metre violet cable supports reliable short-range data transmission and is suitable for structured cabling in data centres and server rooms. Both ends are equipped with MTP connectors to provide quick, repeatable connections between switches, patch panels and transceiver modules.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode fibre construction delivers increased bandwidth and reduced modal dispersion for improved performance over short to medium distances. MTP connectors provide multi-fibre connectivity in a compact form factor, simplifying high-density installations and reducing connector footprint. The 1 m length minimises excess cable slack in dense racks and helps maintain airflow and cable management. The violet jacket colour supports easy visual identification and orderly cable routing.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting high-density patch panels in data centres
• Linking switches, directors and aggregation equipment
• Short-range multimode connections for high-performance computing clusters
• Spine-and-leaf and top-of-rack (ToR) cabling architectures

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP on both ends (multi-fibre MPO-style)
• Length: 1 m
• Jacket colour: violet
• Application: short-range, high-density data centre links

How to use

Before installation, verify compatibility of MTP connector gender and pinning with the target transceivers or patch panels. Route the cable along designated pathways, avoiding sharp bends and sources of mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for OM4 multimode fibre. Insert the MTP connectors firmly into the mating adapters until the latch engages and verify link status on connected equipment. Use cable ties or Velcro straps to secure the cable without compressing the jacket, and label both ends to maintain traceability within the network infrastructure.

Recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before making connections. For best optical performance, use certified MTP adapters and ensure proper polarity and pin alignment. Store unused cables coiled with gentle loops and protect connector end caps when not connected.
