ACT 12 meter multimode 50/125 OM4 polariteit A glasvezel-patchkabel met MTP-bussen

The ACT 12 meter Multimode 50/125 OM4 fiber patch cable with MTP female connectors provides a high-bandwidth link for data center and enterprise network environments. Designed with a 50 µm core diameter and OM4 grading, this 12 m cable supports multi-lane transmission and is suitable for short- to medium-reach high-speed applications. The cable is built to maintain consistent insertion loss and return loss characteristics and uses a Polarity A wiring scheme for straightforward deployment in existing multimode infrastructures.

Advantages

The cable combines OM4 multimode fiber performance with MTP female terminations to enable high-density, parallel optical connections. Its 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry is optimized for 10G, 40G and 100G-class short-reach links where low modal dispersion and improved bandwidth-distance product are required. The 12 meter length provides flexibility for racks and patching between equipment in larger cabling zones, while the Polarity A configuration simplifies connectivity with standard multimode transceivers and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and spine-leaf interconnects
• High-density patch panels and MTP cassette connections
• Parallel optics applications (e.g., 40G/100G SR4) requiring multimode OM4
• Equipment-to-equipment links within telecom rooms and server cabinets

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4

• Connector type: MTP female
• Polarity: A
• Cable length: 12 meters
• Suitable for: 10G/40G/100G multimode links

How to use

Route the 12 m fiber cable between the designated MTP ports on patch panels, cassettes or transceiver modules, ensuring connectors are clean and undamaged before insertion. Follow standard fiber handling practices: avoid tight bends, secure the cable to cable management paths, and maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the cable manufacturer. For Polarity A installations, confirm port mapping on both ends matches the expected transmit/receive orientation of connected devices and modules prior to powering active equipment.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean MTP ferrules with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before each insertion, and use protective caps when the cable is not connected. Verify link performance with an optical tester after installation to confirm insertion loss and continuity meet system requirements.
