Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOS2-15-A MTP OS2 15 m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOS2-15-A is a 15 m single-mode fibre optic cable configured with MTP connectors on both ends and specified to OS2 standards. With a 9 µm core diameter and yellow jacket for easy identification, this cable is designed for high-speed, low-loss transmission in data centre, InfiniBand and high-performance computing networks. The construction supports stable signal integrity over the specified length and provides a factory-terminated MTP interface for multi-fibre connections.

Advantages

This MTP OS2 fibre cable provides low attenuation and consistent single-mode performance suitable for long-reach links within racks and between cabinets. The MTP connectors allow high-density, multi-fibre connections that simplify cabling for parallel optics or trunking applications. The 15 m length offers flexibility for equipment placement while the yellow outer jacket provides standard single-mode colour coding for straightforward cable management.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects and other high-speed fabrics
• Data centre trunking and rack-to-rack links
• High-performance computing clusters and storage networks
• Environments requiring factory-terminated multi-fibre MTP connections

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for single-mode OS2 applications and is not appropriate where multimode fibre is required for short-distance links or legacy multimode transceivers. It is also not suitable for direct consumer audio/video use or installations that require armoured or outdoor-rated cable types unless additional protective conduits are used.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode (OS2)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connectors: MTP to MTP (factory-terminated)
• Length: 15 m
• Colour: yellow (single-mode standard)

How to use

Route the MTPF12MTPFOS2-15-A cable between equipment with MTP-compatible ports or patch panels. Ensure connector endfaces are clean prior to mating using appropriate fibre cleaning tools to minimise insertion loss. When installing, avoid tight bends and secure the cable to minimize strain; maintain the recommended bend radius for single-mode fibre. For multi-fibre assemblies, confirm correct polarity and connector orientation with the connected transceivers or modules.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that the network equipment supports single-mode OS2 fibre and MTP connectors.
• Verify required cable length and route to avoid excess slack or tension.
• Consider whether a ruggedised or outdoor-rated cable is needed for the installation environment.
• Check transceiver compatibility for multi-fibre MTP pinning and polarity.

Recommendations

Use dedicated fibre cleaning tools and inspect connector endfaces before every installation. Store and route the cable following single-mode bend-radius guidelines and document connections for easier maintenance in data centre environments.
