Glasvezelkabel EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM4-15-A — OM4-multimode, MTP–MTP, 15 m, 50 µm

EFB Elektronik MTPF12MTPFOM4-15-A is a 15 m fibre optic cable engineered for high-speed multimode links. It features OM4 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core and MTP connectors on both ends, providing a compact, high-density parallel connection for data center and enterprise network environments. The cable is intended for short-reach, high-bandwidth applications where low insertion loss and consistent multimode performance are required.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode core supports higher modal bandwidth and longer reach compared with lower-grade multimode fibres, enabling better performance for 10G/40G/100G links over short distances. MTP–MTP connectorization allows simultaneous transmission across multiple parallel fibres for simplified installation in trunk and parallel optics systems. The 15 m length balances flexibility and signal integrity for inter-rack or intra-rack connections, while the standardized 50 µm core diameter ensures compatibility with common multimode transceivers.

Suitable for

• Data center trunking and high-density patching
• Parallel optics deployments (e.g., 40G/100G using MPO/MTP)
• Short-reach LAN and campus backbone links
• InfiniBand and other high-bandwidth multimode applications

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: MTP on both ends
• Cable length: 15 m
• Application: short-reach, high-bandwidth multimode links
• Polarity: compatible with standard MTP polarity schemes

How to use

Route the cable along appropriate cable management paths, avoiding tight bends and excessive tension. Align the MTP connectors with the equipment adapter or patch panel port and insert until the latch engages; ensure connector keying matches the intended polarity. Test the assembled link with suitable fibre test equipment (e.g., insertion loss or OTDR where applicable) to verify performance and confirm connectivity before placing into production.

Recommendations

Store and handle the OM4 multimode cable in a clean environment to prevent contamination of connector endfaces. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, inspect and, if necessary, clean endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools prior to connection. For best results in high-density installations, plan routing to minimize bend radius violations and maintain specified link budgets for the intended transceiver modules.
