Tripp Lite 40/100/400G Multimode 50/125 OM3 Fiber Optic Cable (12F MTP/MPO-PC F/F), LSZH, Aqua, 2 m (6.6 ft.)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N844B-02M-12-P is a 12-fiber multimode OM3 fiber optic cable designed to support high-speed data transmission up to 400 Gb Ethernet. It is tailored for enterprise and data center environments where reliable short-distance connections are essential, such as linking main distribution frames to intermediate distribution frames. With compatibility for current 10 Gb and 25 Gb networks and readiness for future 100 Gb and 400 Gb upgrades, this cable offers a practical solution for evolving network demands.

The cable’s OM3 rating ensures effective performance over distances up to 100 meters at a 1300 nm wavelength. Its aqua-colored low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket not only aids quick identification in dense patch panels but also enhances safety by reducing harmful emissions in confined spaces. Slim boot MTP/MPO connectors simplify installation and maintenance, making this 2-meter cable a dependable choice for IT professionals managing data center infrastructure.
