Cavo in fibra ottica EFB Elektronik MTPF08LCOM4-5 5 m

The EFB Elektronik MTPF08LCOM4-5 5 m fibre optic cable is a pre-terminated multimode trunk designed for high-density network environments. This 5 metre OM4 assembly features an MTP male connector on one end and eight LC connectors on the other, supporting full-duplex data transmission. The cable’s violet jacket denotes OM4 performance for enhanced bandwidth and reduced modal dispersion, making it appropriate for short- to medium-reach links in data centres and enterprise networks.

Advantages

The cable provides compact high-density connectivity with an MTP to 8x LC breakout, enabling multiple parallel channels through a single trunk. OM4 multimode fibre supports higher bandwidth at common data centre distances compared with lower-grade multimode cables. The pre-terminated assembly reduces installation time and risk of connector contamination in the field. The 5 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or patching applications while maintaining predictable optical performance.

Suitable for

• Data centre backbone links and equipment interconnects
• High-density patch panels and MPO/MTP trunking
• 10G, 40G and 100G multimode parallel optics applications within OM4 reach
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch short-reach connections

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode fibre
• Length: 5 metres
• Connector configuration: MTP (male) to 8 × LC duplex
• Mode: Multimode, full-duplex support
• Colour: Violet jacket indicating OM4 specification
• Application environment: Indoor, data centre and network racks

How to use

Route the cable within cable management trays or patching ducts to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress. Clean connectors before mating using appropriate fibre cleaning tools to ensure low insertion loss and reliable links. Plug the MTP connector into the MTP port or adapter panel, and connect the LC connectors to the corresponding duplex ports on optical transceivers or patch panels, observing polarity and channel mapping required by your equipment. Secure the cable to rack elements using Velcro straps or cable ties, leaving service loops as needed for maintenance.

Recommendations

Maintain bend radii above the manufacturer’s minimum and avoid excessive pulling force. Use dedicated MTP patch panels or conversion cassettes when converting to multiple LC ports, and perform optical loss testing after installation to verify end-to-end performance.
