Fibre optic MTP cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM3-2-A — OM3, 2 m, 50 µm, Aqua

EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM3-2-A is a 2 m MTP-to-MTP fibre optic cable intended for OM3 multimode installations. The cable features a 50 µm core diameter and an aqua-coloured jacket for quick visual identification in patch fields and trunk runs. It is designed for use in high-density environments with MPO/MTP interfaces and supports reliable multimode transmission over short to medium distances commonly found in data centres and backbone links.

Advantages

The aqua OM3 multimode construction provides consistent performance for 10 Gigabit and higher-speed multimode links within recommended distance ranges. Factory-polished MTP connectors ensure repeatable low-loss mating and simplify installation compared with field-terminated alternatives. A 2 m length offers a compact patching solution for adjacent racks, switches and patch panels while the 50 µm core supports standard multimode transceiver modules.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching between switches and patch panels
• High-density MPO/MTP trunk and breakout installations
• Short- to medium-reach multimode links (10G and 40G typical)
• Backbone connections within equipment rooms and network closets

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Cable length: 2 m
• Connector type: MTP to MTP (multifibre MPO-style)
• Jacket colour: Aqua
• Application: Multimode short/medium reach data links

How to use

Install the MTP to MTP cable by aligning the keyed MTP connectors with the corresponding MPO/MTP ports on devices or patch panels, ensuring the connector key orientation matches the port. Gently insert until the connector latches are engaged; avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. For best transmission, verify that mating adapters and transceivers are rated for OM3 multimode performance and clean connector endfaces before connection.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before each installation or reconnection. Use proper cable management to prevent tight bends or strain on the cable, and choose suitable transceivers and patching equipment that support OM3 characteristics for reliable multimode performance.
