Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOS2-1-A MTP OS2 1 m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOS2-1-A is a 1 m fibre optic cable engineered for InfiniBand and high-speed data networks. It has MTP connectors on both ends and uses OS2 single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core, offering low attenuation and consistent signal integrity over longer links. The cable's yellow jacket provides quick visual identification in patch panels and cable trays, while the compact 1 m length supports short link connections between equipment within racks or between adjacent racks.

Advantages

This MTP-MTP cable provides multi-fiber connectivity in a compact assembly, reducing the number of individual fibre terminations and simplifying installation. The OS2 single-mode fibre minimises insertion loss and chromatic dispersion for longer-reach links compared with multimode alternatives. MTP connectors are designed for high-density environments and allow reliable mating cycles and repeatable performance in professional data centre and telecom infrastructures.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects in high-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Data centre patching between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Telecommunication and carrier-grade backbone links requiring single-mode fibre
• High-density rack environments where MTP modularity reduces cable bulk

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector type: MTP to MTP
• Fibre type: OS2 single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Route the cable between the two devices ensuring minimum bend radius is respected to avoid microbending losses. Align the MTP connectors with the equipment ports or MTP adapters and insert until the connector engages and the latch secures. Use appropriate strain relief and cable management in racks or panels to prevent tension on the connectors. When connecting to transceivers or patch panels, confirm polarity and port mapping for multi-fibre MTP links to maintain correct channel assignments.

Recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces for contamination before insertion and clean with approved fibre cleaning tools when necessary. Store and handle the cable to prevent sharp bends and physical damage; observe manufacturer guidelines for minimum bend radius and operating conditions. When used in high-density deployments, label both ends for easy identification and verify link performance with an optical power meter or certification tester following installation.
