Fibre optic MTP cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM3-7,5-A — 7.5 m, OM3, MTP–MTP, 50 µm, Aqua

MTPF12MTPFOM3-7,5-A is an EFB Elektronik fibre optic MTP–MTP cable engineered for high-density data centre and InfiniBand interconnects. The cable is 7.5 m long and uses OM3 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter, offering compatibility with standard multimode transceivers and reliable short-to-medium range links. Both ends terminate in MTP connectors in an aqua jacket colour typical for OM3, enabling easy identification and routing in rack and patch-panel environments.

Advantages

This MTP–MTP assembly provides a compact, high-density connection format that reduces cabling bulk in network racks and patch panels. The use of OM3 multimode fibre supports higher bandwidths over short distances and maintains low insertion loss and return loss with factory-polished MTP ferrules. The 7.5 m length is suitable for cross-connects within equipment rooms while the standardized MTP interface simplifies deployment with existing MPO-capable devices and cassettes.

Suitable for

• Data centre rack-to-rack or shelf-to-shelf interconnects
• High-speed InfiniBand links and HPC clusters
• Patching between MTP/MPO cassettes and trunk lines
• Multimode backbone runs inside equipment rooms

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Cable length: 7.5 m
• Connector type: MTP to MTP (both ends)
• Jacket colour: aqua (OM3 standard)
• Polish/finish: factory-terminated, factory-polished ferrules

How to use

Route the MTP cable carefully through cable management trays and cable guides to avoid tight bends; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the cable manufacturer. Align the MTP connector keys with the corresponding ports or cassette adapters and insert until the connector latches. Verify polarity and channel mapping when connecting parallel multimode links; use a visual fault locator or optical power meter to confirm link continuity and insertion loss after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment to prevent contamination of the MTP ferrules. Use dust caps when ports are unused, avoid excessive pulling force on the connectors, and perform regular inspection and cleaning of connector endfaces to maintain low-loss performance.
