Glasvezel-MTP-kabel EFB Elektronik MTPF36MTPFOM4-10-A — OM4, 50 µm, MTP–MTP, 10 m, violet

EFB Elektronik MTPF36MTPFOM4-10-A is a 10 m fibre optic cable with OM4 multimode fibre (50 µm) and MTP connectors on both ends. It is designed for use in high-density data centre environments and high-speed InfiniBand links, offering multi-core connectivity in a single compact assembly. The OM4 multimode fibre supports higher bandwidth over medium distances compared with earlier multimode grades and is suitable for 10/40/100 G and other parallel optical applications when used with compatible transceivers and equipment.

Advantages

This MTP–MTP cable provides low insertion loss and consistent channel performance across its parallel fibres, enabling reliable transmission for short- to medium-range interconnects. The 10 m length balances flexibility and reach for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections. The OM4 fibre grade and 50 µm core diameter improve modal bandwidth and support higher data rates within supported distance limits. The multi-fibre MTP termination reduces installation time and panel space compared with individual LC/SC terminations.

Suitable for

• Data centre rack-to-rack interconnects
• Equipment-to-equipment links in server rooms
• Short- to medium-range InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet
• Parallel optic applications using MPO/MTP terminations

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP to MTP (multi-fibre MPO-style)
• Number of fibres: multi-core MTP assembly
• Length: 10 m
• Cable colour: violet
• Typical use distance: short to medium range data centre links

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the MTP connectors with the mating adapters or module ports, ensuring correct orientation and keying. Avoid forcing the connector into the adapter; the connector should seat smoothly when properly aligned. Route the cable to prevent sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the cable manufacturer. Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before making connections and clean if contaminants are present to maintain low loss and return loss performance.

Recommendations

Use the cable in controlled data centre environments with compatible MTP/MPO ports and transceivers. When deploying parallel optics, ensure polarity and fibre mapping match the equipment requirements. Store and handle the cable to avoid excessive tension and tight bends; periodic inspection and cleaning of connector endfaces will help preserve performance.
