Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF48MTPFOS2-15-A MTP OS2 15 m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik MTPF48MTPFOS2-15-A is a 15 m single-mode fibre optic cable with MTP connectors on both ends, designed for InfiniBand and high-performance network environments. The OS2 fibre type with a 9 μm core diameter provides low attenuation for long-distance links, while the yellow jacket aids quick identification in cable trays and server racks. This cable supports multi-fibre parallel transmission using MTP terminations, delivering consistent optical performance for data centre and enterprise backbones.

Advantages

This MTP OS2 cable offers stable low-loss transmission over extended distances, suitable for long-reach links. The MTP connectors provide high-density parallel connectivity and consistent channel-to-channel performance. A durable yellow outer jacket simplifies visual management and routing in dense installations. The 15 m length enables flexible placement of equipment without the need for additional splicing or patching.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects in compute clusters and HPC systems
• Data centre backbone and cross-connects
• High-performance storage area network links
• Long-reach optical connections between racks or rooms

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OS2 (single-mode)
• Core diameter: 9 μm
• Connector type: MTP to MTP (multi-fibre MPO-style)
• Cable length: 15 m
• Outer colour: Yellow
• Application: Long-distance, high-density optical links

How to use

Inspect connectors and ensure endfaces are clean before installation to maintain low insertion loss. Route the cable along established cable management paths and avoid sharp bends; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for single-mode fibre. Plug each MTP connector into the corresponding MTP adapter or cassette, confirming correct keying and alignment for channel mapping. Test each link with appropriate optical test equipment after installation to verify attenuation and continuity.

Recommendations

Regularly clean connector endfaces with suitable fibre cleaning tools and store unused ends with protective caps. Avoid excessive pulling force and protect the cable in high-traffic areas with conduits or cable trays. For critical links, perform optical loss testing and document results as part of commissioning and maintenance.
