Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF48MTPFOM4-5-A — OM4, MTP–MTP, 5 m, 50 µm, violet

The EFB Elektronik MTPF48MTPFOM4-5-A is a 5 m OM4 multimode fibre optic cable designed for high-density data centre and InfiniBand environments. It features 50 µm core multimode fibre optimized for short- to medium-range high-speed links and is equipped with MTP connectors on both ends to enable compact, multi-fibre terminations and fast patching between switches, transceivers and patch panels.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides low insertion loss and consistent multimode performance across the OM4 specification, supporting higher bandwidth over short distances compared with lower-grade multimode cables. The use of MTP connectorization offers space-saving, quick deployment and reliable alignment for multi-fibre applications. A 5 m length balances flexibility and neat routing in server racks or cabinet-to-cabinet connections while the violet jacket colour aids visual identification and fibre type differentiation.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode fibre
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP to MTP, multi-fibre
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: violet jacket for fibre identification
• Designed for short- to medium-range high-speed links and patching

How to use

Route the cable following proper bend-radius practices and secure it within racks or trays to avoid stress on connectors. Align and insert the MTP connectors into compatible MTP adapters or transceiver modules until the connector latches engage. Verify link performance using appropriate optical test equipment and document connection endpoints. When unplugging, release the latch and pull on the connector housing rather than the cable jacket to preserve connector integrity.

Recommendations

For best results, use this OM4 MTP–MTP cable for short-range, high-bandwidth links inside data centres and between stacked equipment. Maintain clean connector endfaces by using fibre cleaning tools before every connection and follow manufacturer guidelines for allowable bend radius, insertion cycles and mechanical handling.
