Fibre optic MTP cable EFB Elektronik MTPF72MTPFOM4-5-A — OM4, 5 m, MTP–MTP, 50 µm, violet

EFB Elektronik MTPF72MTPFOM4-5-A is a 5 m fibre optic cable with MTP connectors on both ends, built with OM4 multimode fibre and a 50 µm core. The cable is intended for high-density, high-bandwidth network environments where consistent signal integrity and low insertion loss are required. The violet outer jacket provides visual identification to simplify routing and cable management in racks and patch panels.

Advantages

The cable offers OM4 multimode performance optimized for 10 GbE, 40 GbE and higher-speed links in data centres and enterprise networks. MTP connectors provide compact multi-fibre termination that reduces patching space and enables quick reconfiguration. The 5 m length balances reach and flexibility for connections between switches, panels and transceivers while the 50 µm core supports reliable multimode coupling and modal bandwidth for extended distances compared with lower-grade multimode fibres.

Key specifications

• OM4 multimode fibre, 50 µm core diameter
• MTP connector to MTP connector, multi-fibre termination
• Cable length: 5 m
• Violet outer jacket for identification
• Designed for high-bandwidth, low-loss multimode links

How to use

Install the cable by mating the MTP connectors to compatible MTP ports on patch panels, switches or transceivers. Ensure connector endfaces are clean and free of dust or contamination before connection to maintain low insertion loss. Route the cable with gentle bends, respecting the minimum bend radius specified by equipment vendors, and secure it in cable management trays or ties to prevent strain on connector ferrules. For changes, carefully disengage the connector latch before pulling to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Regularly inspect and, if necessary, clean connector endfaces using appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Use labelled routing paths and colour-coded management to keep violet OM4 MTP links distinct from other cabling. When deploying in high-density panels, verify port mapping and polarity to ensure correct multi-fibre channel alignment.
