Fibre optic MTP cable EFB Elektronik MTPF72MTPFOM4-10-A — OM4, 10 m, MTP–MTP, 50 µm, violet

EFB Elektronik MTPF72MTPFOM4-10-A is a 10 m multimode fibre optic cable with OM4 fibre and MTP connectors on both ends. With a 50 µm core diameter and factory-terminated MTP housings, this cable is intended for high-density multimode interconnects in data centres, server rooms and high-speed InfiniBand or Ethernet links where compact multi-fibre termination and consistent OM4 performance are required. The violet jacket colour helps rapid identification of OM4 multimode infrastructure within structured cabling systems.

Advantages

The cable provides low insertion loss and controlled attenuation across the OM4 modal bandwidth, enabling reliable transmission at 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps link speeds when used with compatible transceivers and patching hardware. MTP–MTP termination offers space-efficient multi-fibre connectivity and reduces patching complexity compared with multiple individual connectors. The factory-terminated construction ensures consistent end-face polishing and alignment for predictable optical performance, while the 10 m length supports flexible rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment routing without excessive excess cable management.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects and top-of-rack to spine connections
• High-speed InfiniBand and Ethernet links (10G, 40G, 100G) using OM4 multimode
• Server rack patching and trunking between fibre panels
• High-density multi-fibre backbone cabling and migration paths

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP to MTP multi-fibre connectors
• Length: 10 m
• Jacket colour: violet (OM4 identification)
• Application: multimode data communications and interconnects

How to use

Route the cable between the designated patch panels, transceivers or equipment ports, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress. Verify connector orientation and alignment before insertion to prevent end-face damage. Use appropriate cable management such as trays, rings or Velcro ties to maintain bend radius recommendations for multimode fibre and to prevent microbending losses. When connecting transceivers or adapters, confirm compatibility with OM4 multimode optics and ensure connectors and adapters are clean using appropriate fibre cleaning tools prior to mating.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean MTP end faces before each connection, maintain minimum bend radius as specified for OM4 fibre, and store unused ends with protective caps. For best performance in high-speed links, pair this OM4 MTP–MTP cable with compatible OM4 transceivers and certified patch panels, and verify links with insertion loss and return loss measurements where required.
