Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF36MTPFOS2-5-A MTP OS2 5 m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik MTPF36MTPFOS2-5-A is a 5 m fibre optic cable designed for InfiniBand and high-speed network applications. It uses MTP connectors on both ends and is manufactured with OS2 single-mode fibre featuring a 9 µm core diameter. The cable's yellow jacket provides clear visual identification within cable runs and rack installations.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides low-loss single-mode transmission suitable for longer-distance links and data center backbones. Dual MTP connectors support multi-fibre parallel transmission commonly required in InfiniBand setups. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability in rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections. The yellow outer jacket improves visibility for installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand networks and high-speed interconnects
• Data centre trunking and backbone links
• Short to medium-length single-mode fibre connections up to 5 m
• Environments requiring clear cable identification

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector types: MTP to MTP
• Fibre type: OS2 single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Product colour: Yellow

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and ensure mating equipment accepts MTP interfaces. Route the cable with minimal bending radius to avoid stress on the fibre; follow equipment vendor guidelines for bend limits. Align and insert each MTP connector into the corresponding MTP adapter or port until it seats securely. Secure cable runs to prevent strain on connectors and avoid tight loops near patch panels and transceivers.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the cable in clean environments and keep connector endfaces covered when not connected. Use appropriate cleaning tools for MTP connectors and avoid exceeding recommended bend radius. Verify compatibility with InfiniBand port types and parallel optics modules before deployment.
