The MTP®-8 APC (Female) OM4 cable uses 8 active fibers to transmit light and 4 inactive fibers as strength members. The APC end has an 8-degree polished angle to deflect internal optical back reflections from entering the transceiver and distorting the signal quality.
It is designed for linking InfiniBand and Ethernet multimode twin-port OSFP and single-port OSFP and QSFP112 transceivers together in data center high-speed fiber links. The typical use case is linking twin port OSFP switches to each other, and to ConnectX-7® network adapters or BlueField-3® Data Processing Units (DPUs) in computing and storage servers. It also accommodates in-band and out-of-band management networks, ensuring comprehensive connectivity across AI data center fabrics.
