InfiniBand/fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF24MTPFOM4-15-A — OM4 multimode, MTP–MTP, 15 m, 50 µm

EFB Elektronik MTPF24MTPFOM4-15-A is a 15 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable built with OM4 multimode fibre and MTP connectors on both ends. The cable uses 50 µm core multimode optical fibres to deliver high-bandwidth, low-loss links for data centre trunks, patch panels and high-performance computing interconnects. Its construction targets short-to-medium reach applications where reliable multimode transmission and tight bend performance are required.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode fibre offers increased modal bandwidth and improved performance over standard multimode grades for higher data rates and denser link aggregation. MTP–MTP terminations provide quick, repeatable connections for MTP-enabled equipment and cassette-based patching systems. A 15 m length supplies flexible routing between racks or through overhead cable trays while maintaining optical budget for typical multimode links. The cable’s design supports consistent polarity and reduced insertion loss when installed according to vendor guidelines.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and InfiniBand interconnects
• Data centre trunking between MTP ports and MPO/MTP patch panels
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch multimode links
• Environments requiring dense, multi-fibre connections and rapid rearrangement

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP to MTP (multi-fibre push-on MPO-style)
• Cable length: 15 m
• Suitable reach: short-to-medium distance multimode links

How to use

Route the cable between MTP-compliant transceivers, patch panels or cassettes ensuring the connectors are clean and undamaged before mating. Verify connector orientation and polarity to match the system wiring scheme, and avoid excessive bending or crushing of the cable to preserve optical performance. For best results, inspect endfaces with an optical connector microscope and use recommended cleaning procedures prior to installation. Secure the cable to racks or trays with appropriate strain relief to prevent connector pull and to maintain consistent insertion loss.

Recommendations

Install in accordance with data centre cabling standards, following bend-radius limits and connector cleaning protocols. Use in combinations with compatible OM4-rated transceivers and MTP patching equipment to ensure expected bandwidth and link reliability.
