Fibre optic MTP cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM3-1-A — 1 m, OM3, MTP‑MTP, 50 µm, aqua

EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM3-1-A is a 1 m multimode fibre optic cable terminated with MTP connectors on both ends. The cable uses OM3-grade multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter and an aqua jacket, designed for short-range high-bandwidth links in data centre and enterprise environments. It provides a compact MPO/MTP termination format suitable for high-density patching panels, switch-to-switch connections and InfiniBand or Ethernet deployments requiring consistent multimode performance.

Advantages

The MTP–MTP configuration enables quick, high-density connections while preserving signal integrity across multimode links. OM3 fibre supports laser-optimized transmission for 10 Gbps and higher short-reach applications, and the 50 µm core provides compatibility with standard multimode transceivers. The 1 m length reduces excess slack in rack-to-rack or patch panel connections and the aqua jacket follows industry colour coding for OM3 installations, simplifying identification and cable management.

Suitable for

• Data centre patch panels and high-density fibre distribution frames
• Rack-to-rack or switch-to-switch multimode connections
• InfiniBand and Ethernet short-range links (10 Gbps and above in supported configurations)
• High-density network environments using MPO/MTP trunking and breakout assemblies

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP to MTP (12-fiber MPO format)
• Length: 1 m
• Jacket colour: aqua
• Suitable for short-range, high-bandwidth multimode links

How to use

Install the MTP connectors into compatible MTP/MPO adapters or transceiver modules in the patch panel or active equipment. Ensure connector endfaces are clean and free of dust before insertion to maintain low loss and prevent damage. Route the cable with appropriate bend radius control, secure it using cable management accessories to avoid strain on the connectors, and verify link performance with fibre test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Regularly inspect and clean connector endfaces using approved fibre cleaning tools prior to mating. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling during installation; follow manufacturer bend-radius guidelines. Use this OM3 MTP–MTP cable for short-range multimode links where MPO/MTP connectivity is specified, and confirm transceiver compatibility and network design parameters for expected data rates.
