Fibre optic MTP cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM3-3-A, OM3, 3 m, MTP–MTP, 50 µm, aqua

EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM3-3-A is a 3 m OM3 multimode fibre optic cable with MTP connectors on both ends. The cable contains 12 fibres of 50 µm core diameter and is designed for short-range high-bandwidth links in data centres and clustered computing environments. The aqua-coloured jacket provides quick visual identification for OM3 multimode installations and the MTP–MTP termination supports high-density patching and parallel optics applications such as InfiniBand and multi-channel transceivers.

Advantages

The cable delivers compact, high-density connectivity with MTP terminations that reduce panel space compared with individual duplex connectors. Using OM3 50 µm multimode fibre enables support for short-range high-speed data transmission and parallel optics modules. The pre-assembled 3 m length simplifies rack-to-rack or chassis-to-chassis connections and the aqua jacket helps maintain orderly cabling by colour-coding OM3 links.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching and short-range backbone links
• InfiniBand and high-speed server interconnects
• Parallel optics transceivers and breakout assemblies
• High-density fibre panels and spine/leaf network layouts

Key specifications

• Cable type: Multimode OM3
• Fibre core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP–MTP, 12-fibre trunk
• Length: 3 m
• Jacket colour: Aqua
• Application: Short-range, high-bandwidth links and parallel optics

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each MTP connector with the corresponding MTP adapter or port and insert until it seats securely. Ensure proper key orientation when connecting MTP connectors to avoid reversing fibre polarity. Use suitable strain relief and routing in racks or enclosures to prevent sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. For parallel optics deployments, verify module and port mapping to match transmit and receive lanes across the 12-fibre trunk.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment to avoid contamination of connector endfaces. Clean connectors with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating, keep bend radius above minimum limits, and label both ends to preserve traceability in dense installations.
