InfiniBand/fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM4-3-A — 3 m, OM4, MTP–MTP, 50 µm

InfiniBand/fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM4-3-A is a 3 m multimode trunk cable with MTP connectors at both ends and OM4 fibre (50 µm core). It is designed for high-density environments such as data centres and high-performance computing racks where parallel optics and aggregated links are required. The cable supports short- to medium-range multimode connections and enables compact trunking of multiple fibres in a single MTP interface.

Advantages

This cable combines OM4 multimode fibre with MTP–MTP connectivity to deliver increased bandwidth potential and consistent signal performance over typical data centre distances. The 50 µm core diameter and OM4 specification provide lower insertion loss and higher modal bandwidth compared with earlier multimode grades, easing deployment of 40G/100G parallel optics and InfiniBand links. The factory-terminated MTP connectors ensure uniform polarity and reliable mechanical mating for high-density patching panels.

Suitable for

• High-density data centre trunking and backbone links
• InfiniBand and parallel optics interconnects in HPC clusters
• 40G/100G multimode transceiver aggregation
• Cross-connects between MPO/MTP patch panels and switch arrays

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP to MTP (multifibre MPO-style)
• Length: 3 m
• Application: short- to medium-range multimode links, parallel optics
• Cable design: trunk/multifibre assembly for high-density installations

How to use

Route the cable through cable trays or cable management channels to minimize bending and avoid tight radii; follow the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for OM4 multimode fibre. Align and insert MTP connectors into corresponding MTP receptacles on patch panels or transceiver modules, ensuring correct polarity and secure latch engagement. Verify end-to-end connectivity and optical loss with appropriate test equipment after installation. Avoid excessive pulling force on the fibre assembly and protect connector endfaces from dust by using protective caps until final mating.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, maintain clean connector endfaces and adhere to standard multimode handling procedures. Use this OM4 MTP–MTP trunk for aggregated short-reach links and parallel optics deployments where high-density cabling and consistent channel performance are required.
