User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber is used in this patch cable?
This Tripp Lite patch cable uses 50/125 µm multimode fiber, which is a common standard for short to medium distance fiber optic connections. The 50/125 specification refers to the core and cladding diameters in micrometers, with this particular fiber being OM3 rated for optimal performance in 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 300 meters.
What connectors are on each end of this cable?
Both ends of this cable feature duplex LC male connectors, with each end having two LC connectors (one for transmit and one for receive). This LC-to-LC configuration provides a secure, small-form-factor connection that's widely used in data center and enterprise networking equipment for its reliability and space efficiency.
What is the maximum distance for 10-Gigabit Ethernet with this cable?
This OM3-rated fiber patch cable supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections up to 300 meters when using 850nm wavelength. This distance capability makes it suitable for most data center and building backbone applications where high-speed connectivity is required between equipment in different racks or rooms.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke, Zero Halogen, which refers to the cable jacket material that produces minimal smoke and no halogen gases when exposed to fire. This is particularly important in enclosed spaces like data centers or plenum areas where reduced toxic emissions can enhance personnel safety and minimize equipment damage during fire incidents.
Is this cable backward compatible with existing fiber infrastructure?
Yes, this 50/125 µm multimode fiber patch cable is backward compatible with existing 50/125 fiber installations. This means you can integrate it into networks that already use 50/125 fiber without requiring special adapters or compatibility concerns, making upgrades and expansions more straightforward.
What applications is this fiber patch cable best suited for?
This cable is ideal for 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers, connecting switches to servers, linking network equipment in telecommunications rooms, and establishing storage area network connections. Its 3-meter length, duplex LC connectors, and OM3 rating make it particularly well-suited for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel deployments in enterprise environments.
