MTP fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM3-1 — 1 m, OM3, MTP–MTP, 50 µm, Aqua

EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM3-1 is a 1 m multimode fibre optic cable featuring OM3 50 µm core fibre and MTP connectors on both ends. Engineered for short-reach, high-density environments, this aqua-coloured cable is intended for use in data centre links, InfiniBand interconnects and structured cabling where parallel multi-fibre transmission and compact connector interfaces are required. The cable’s construction and connector type allow reliable multimode performance at typical data centre distances.

Advantages

The MTP–MTP configuration enables quick installation of parallel ribbon fibre links and reduces connector footprint in patch panels. OM3 50 µm multimode fibre provides optimized bandwidth for short-reach 10G, 40G and 100G transmissions in multimode environments. The 1 m length is convenient for rack-to-rack and switch-to-switch patching within server cabinets and equipment rows. The aqua jacket helps with visual identification of OM3 cabling in mixed-fibre installations.

Suitable for

• Data centre rack-to-rack and shelf-to-shelf interconnects
• Switch-to-switch and spine-leaf links using multimode parallel optics
• Patching in structured cabling environments with MTP trunks and panels
• Short-reach InfiniBand and high-speed network interconnects

Key specifications

• Fibre type: multimode OM3
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP to MTP (both ends)
• Length: 1 m
• Jacket colour: aqua (OM3 standard)
• Application: short-reach multimode parallel links

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and seating each MTP connector into the corresponding MTP adapter or port on patch panels and active equipment. Ensure connectors are clean and free of dust or debris prior to mating; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable following standard data centre cable management practices to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. For best performance, maintain recommended bend radius for multimode fiber and avoid kinking.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility of MTP pinning and polarity with existing trunking and equipment before deployment. Clean connectors before installation and use strain relief or cable ties in accordance with cable management guidelines to preserve optical performance. For longer links or single-mode requirements, select an appropriate fibre type and connector configuration.
