Καλώδιο οπτικών ινών MTP EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM3-5-A — OM3, 50 µm, 5 m, aqua

EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM3-5-A is a 5 m aqua-coloured fibre optic MTP–MTP cable designed for multimode OM3 networks with a 50 µm core diameter. It provides high-density parallel connectivity using MTP/MPO terminations and is intended for data centre interconnects, patching between switches or patch panels, and short- to medium-length links that require reliable multimode transmission at high data rates.

Advantages

The cable combines OM3 multimode performance with an MTP high-density connector format to support parallel optics and multi-channel transceivers. Its 50 µm core multimode fibres are optimised for wavelengths used in short-range high-speed links. The aqua outer jacket aids quick visual identification of OM3 cabling within structured wiring environments, and the factory-terminated MTP ends reduce on-site termination work and help ensure consistent insertion loss and polarity alignment.

Suitable for

• Data centre switch-to-switch and switch-to-patch panel connections
• Parallel optics transceiver connections (e.g., 40G/100G modules)
• High-density fibre backbone and cross-connect installations
• Short- to medium-reach multimode fibre links within racks and across equipment rooms

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP to MTP (multifibre MPO-style high-density connectors)
• Length: 5 metres
• Jacket colour: Aqua (OM3 identification)
• Suitable wavelength range: typical multimode wavelengths (850 nm / 1300 nm)
• Application: short-range high-speed multimode links and parallel optics

How to use

Install the MTP–MTP cable by aligning the keying and guide pins of the MTP connectors with the corresponding ports on transceivers or patch panels, ensuring correct polarity and orientation before insertion. Route the cable through fibre management trays or raceways to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; observe recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Perform optical loss and continuity testing after installation to verify end-to-end performance and correct channel mapping.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to prevent contamination of connector endfaces; use dust caps when connectors are not mated and clean endfaces with an appropriate fibre cleaning tool prior to mating. For best performance in high-density environments, plan cable routing and polarity to match transceiver and harness requirements, and follow manufacturer guidelines for bend radius and connector seating to maintain insertion loss and return loss within expected limits.
