Fibre optic InfiniBand cable EFB Elektronik MTPF48MTPFOM4-15-A — 15 m, OM4, MTP–MTP, 50 µm, violet

EFB Elektronik MTPF48MTPFOM4-15-A is a 15 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable engineered for high-density data centre and enterprise network environments. The cable uses OM4 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core and MTP connectors on both ends, providing a compact, multi-fibre connection suited to parallel optics systems and high-speed interconnects. The violet outer jacket supports colour-coded cable management and identification in patch panels and rack installations.

Advantages

This OM4 multimode cable offers improved modal bandwidth for higher data rates over moderate distances compared with lower-grade multimode fibres. MTP connectors provide reliable multi-fibre mating with low insertion loss and alignment accuracy suitable for InfiniBand and other high-speed fabrics. The 50 µm core meets multimode standards for compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and switches, while the 15 m length accommodates typical rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment routing without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack links in data centres and server rooms
• High-speed InfiniBand interconnects and cluster networks
• Connections between switches, patch panels and MTP splitters
• Environments requiring standardized colour-coded cabling

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP to MTP
• Length: 15 m
• Jacket colour: violet
• Optimized for: high-density, parallel optics and short- to mid-range high-speed links

How to use

Route the cable between designated patch panels, switches or direct equipment ports following data centre cable management practices. Ensure both MTP connectors are oriented correctly and fully seated in their respective adapters or transceiver modules to achieve low insertion loss. Avoid tight bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibre during installation and routing. Secure the cable along horizontal and vertical pathways using Velcro straps or cable management trays to prevent strain on connector ends.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this OM4 MTP–MTP cable in conjunction with compatible OM4 transceivers and MTP adapters. Verify connector cleanliness before installation and perform link testing after deployment to confirm insertion loss and continuity. Store spare cables coiled without sharp bends and protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use.
