Tripp Lite 40/100/400G Multimode 50/125 OM3 Fiber Optic Cable (12F MTP/MPO-PC to 4x Duplex LC/PC F/M), LSZH, Aqua, 1 m (3.3 ft.)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N844X-01M-8L-P is a one-meter OM3 multimode fiber optic cable designed to support high-speed data transmission for 40 Gb, 100 Gb, and 400 Gb Ethernet networks. It features a 12-fiber MTP/MPO male connector on one end and four duplex LC female connectors on the other, making it ideal for breaking out QSFP ports into multiple SFP interfaces. This cable is well suited for data centers, telecom rooms, and storage area networks where reliable, clean signal transmission and efficient cable management are essential.

Key features

• Supports high-bandwidth applications with compatibility for 10 Gb, 25 Gb, 40 Gb, 100 Gb, and 400 Gb Ethernet standards, allowing gradual network upgrades without replacing cabling.
• Switchable LC connectors enable quick polarity reversal by flipping the housing, eliminating the need for fiber re-termination or additional jumpers and reducing installation errors.
• Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) aqua jacket minimizes toxic fumes in case of fire and simplifies cable identification in dense rack environments.
• Compact one-meter length reduces cable slack, helping maintain organized and airflow-friendly network racks.
• Designed for short-range data and voice links, ensuring reliable performance in high-density networking setups such as top-of-rack switches and core aggregation layers.
