Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF48MTPFOS2-5-A MTP OS2 5 m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik MTPF48MTPFOS2-5-A is a 5 m fibre optic cable engineered for InfiniBand and high-speed networking applications. It uses MTP connectors on both ends and OS2 single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core diameter, offering low attenuation and consistent signal quality over short to medium interconnect distances. The cable's yellow jacket provides easy identification in structured cabling environments and supports reliable, high-bandwidth links between switches, servers, and optical modules.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable combines MTP-to-MTP connectivity with OS2 single-mode construction to reduce insertion loss and preserve signal integrity in dense networking setups. Its 5 m length balances flexibility and reach for typical data center layouts. The standardized MTP connector ensures compatibility with MTP ports and cassette systems, while the single-mode OS2 fibre type supports long-reach performance characteristics and stable transmission for InfiniBand networks and other high-throughput environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnections between InfiniBand switches and server NICs
• Patching within data centres and telecom racks
• High-bandwidth links in storage and compute clusters
• Connections between MTP-compatible cassettes and trunk panels

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector type: MTP on both ends
• Fibre type: OS2 single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm (single-mode)
• Outer jacket colour: Yellow

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools to prevent contamination-related loss. Route the cable following standard bend-radius and strain-relief practices to avoid microbending. Plug the MTP connectors into compatible MTP ports or cassette adapters until secure; ensure alignment keys match port orientation. After installation, perform optical loss tests or verify link status on connected devices to confirm satisfactory performance.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to avoid tight bends and pressure on the jacket. Use labelled routing and colour-coded management systems to keep the yellow OS2 cable distinguishable from multimode assemblies. For critical links, validate insertion loss with an OTDR or power meter and schedule periodic inspections of connector endfaces.
