FAQ
What is the maximum distance this cable supports for 40/100-Gig Ethernet?
This OM4-rated fiber optic patch cable supports a maximum distance of 300 meters at 850nm wavelength for 40/100-Gig Ethernet applications. This makes it suitable for most data center and enterprise networking environments where high-speed connections are required over moderate distances.
What type of connectors does this cable have on both ends?
Both ends of this patch cable feature LC network connectors with male interfaces. Each end has two LC connectors (duplex configuration) for transmitting and receiving data simultaneously, providing full-duplex communication capabilities for efficient network operations.
Is this cable backward compatible with existing fiber infrastructure?
Yes, this multi-mode fiber optic cable is backward compatible with existing 50/125 µm fiber infrastructure. The OM4 rating ensures it can work with older multi-mode fiber systems while providing enhanced performance for newer high-speed Ethernet standards.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke, Zero Halogen, which refers to the jacket material that minimizes toxic emissions in case of fire. This safety feature makes the cable suitable for use in enclosed spaces, data centers, and areas with strict fire safety requirements where reduced smoke and halogen-free materials are mandated.
What applications is this 3.3 ft fiber patch cable best suited for?
The 3.3 ft (1.01 m) length makes this cable ideal for short-distance connections in data centers, server rooms, and network closets. Common applications include connecting switches to servers within the same rack, linking network interface cards to patch panels, and establishing connections between adjacent network equipment in high-density installations.
What warranty does Tripp Lite provide for this fiber optic cable?
Tripp Lite provides a lifetime limited warranty for this N820-01M-OM4 fiber optic patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, providing assurance of quality and reliability for your network infrastructure investment.
