InfiniBand / fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM3-2 — 2 m, OM3, MTP–MTP, 50 µm, Aqua

EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM3-2 is a 2 m InfiniBand / fibre optic cable with OM3 multimode fibre and MTP connectors on both ends. With a 50 µm core diameter and an Aqua-rated jacket colour for OM3, this MTP–MTP link is intended for short-range high-speed data centre interconnects, patch panels and spine/leaf network topologies. The cable supports multimode transmission characteristics typical for OM3 fibre and provides a compact, multi-fibre MTP termination for quick installation in MTP-enabled ports.

Advantages

The MTP–MTP termination consolidates multiple fibres into a single connector for reduced rack cabling complexity and faster deployment. OM3 multimode construction with a 50 µm core offers suitable bandwidth for 10G, 40G and 100G multimode interconnects over short distances in data centre environments. A 2 m length provides a balance between reach and manageability in patching and inter-rack connections, while the standard MTP form factor ensures compatibility with common MTP patch panels, cassette modules and transceiver arrays.

Suitable for

• Short-range data centre spine-to-leaf and rack-to-rack interconnects
• MTP patch panel and cassette connections
• High-density multimode backbone links supporting 10G/40G/100G
• InfiniBand and other high-speed interconnect applications requiring MTP–MTP terminations

Key specifications

• Length: 2 m
• Fibre type: OM3 multimode fibre
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP–MTP (multi-fibre push-on)
• Jacket colour: Aqua (OM3 standard)
• Designed use: short-range, high-density multimode links

How to use

Route the 2 m MTP cable between MTP-enabled ports, patch panels or cassette modules, avoiding sharp bends and maintaining the recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Align and insert MTP connectors into corresponding MTP ports until the latch engages; ensure polarity and fibre mapping in the patching scheme match the network design. When connecting to transceiver modules or MTP-adapter assemblies, confirm that the mating connectors and adapters are compatible with MTP multi-fibre format to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings when plugging or unplugging and keep connector endfaces clean using appropriate fibre cleaning tools. For consistent performance in data centre deployments, verify polarity, test link loss after installation, and maintain bend radius and separation from electrical interference sources. Store unused MTP connectors with protective caps to prevent contamination.
