Fibre optic MTP cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM5-10 — OM5, 10 m, MTP–MTP, 50 µm

EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM5-10 is a 10 m multimode fibre optic cable with OM5 specification and MTP connectors on both ends. Built with a 50 µm core diameter, this MTP–MTP cable supports high-density, parallel fibre links commonly used in data centre environments, server racks and high-speed InfiniBand or Ethernet interconnects. The OM5 multimode grading enables optimized wideband transmission for short- to medium-range multimode applications while maintaining compatibility with existing multimode infrastructure.

Advantages

The cable combines MTP multi-fibre connectors for simplified installation in high-density panels and trunks with OM5 fibre performance for wideband multimode use. Its 50 µm core provides reliable modal bandwidth for parallel optics and aggregated links. A 10 m length offers flexible routing between racks or equipment and reduces the need for intermediate patching in many layouts. The assembly is intended to provide consistent optical performance and ease of handling in professional networking settings.

Suitable for

• High-density data centre trunking and rack-to-rack connections
• Parallel optics links for InfiniBand or high-speed Ethernet transceivers
• Server interconnects and switch-to-switch multimode links
• Short- to medium-reach multimode transmission within buildings

Key specifications

• Optical type: Multimode OM5
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP to MTP (multi-fibre MPO-style)
• Length: 10 m
• Application: Parallel and aggregated multimode links, data centre infrastructure

How to use

Install the MTP–MTP cable by aligning the keyed MTP connectors with the mating adapters or transceiver modules, ensuring correct polarity and orientation for the parallel lanes. Route the cable following standard cable management practices to avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress; respect minimum bend radius recommendations for multimode fibre. Test end-to-end optical continuity and link performance after installation using appropriate fibre test equipment and verify transceiver compatibility for parallel multimode operation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fibre cable in a clean environment to avoid contamination of connector endfaces. Use dust caps when connectors are not mated, and clean endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools before connecting. For reliable performance in parallel optics deployments, confirm polarity and lane mapping between transceivers and patching panels, and perform insertion loss and return loss measurements as part of commissioning.
