MTP Elite Female-Female Patch Cord | Base-8 | Multi-Mode G651.OM3

This MTP® Elite Multimode Patch Cord features Base-8 female MTP connectors on both ends and contains 8 OM3 fibers with a 50μm core and 125μm cladding. Built for high-density environments, the cable is enclosed in a 3.0mm jacket, making it ideal for short-reach, high-bandwidth applications in modern data centers.

The Elite MTP® connector is an enhanced version of the MPO interface, designed to improve insertion loss, durability, and alignment accuracy. Female connectors are equipped with pin slots and are intended to mate with male MTPs featuring alignment pins.

Optimized for 40G and 100G links using parallel optics, this patch cord is widely used in spine-leaf topologies, QSFP+ interconnects, and short-range structured cabling.
