Eaton N821-50M-AQ-AR Tripp Lite 100G 50M OM4 Fiber Optic Cable

The Eaton Tripp Lite N821-50M-AQ-AR is a high-performance 50-meter (164-foot) multimode fiber optic cable engineered for the rigorous demands of modern data networks. This armored duplex LC/LC patch cord is an essential component for high-bandwidth environments such as cloud services, hyperscale data centers, and telecommunication applications, where reliable 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) connectivity is paramount. It addresses the critical need for robust data transmission in physically challenging or sensitive operational areas. Featuring OM4-rated 50/125 µm fiber, this cable is optimized for 100G Ethernet applications at an 850 nm wavelength, ensuring minimal signal degradation over its length. The robust armored construction, incorporating flexible stainless steel and Aramid yarn, provides exceptional protection against dust, oil, gas, and moisture. This design allows for deployment in hazardous areas without the need for additional conduit, translating directly into reduced installation complexity and enhanced operational longevity. Designed for flexible deployment, the N821-50M-AQ-AR can be routed in diverse physical infrastructures while maintaining signal integrity. Its aqua-colored Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) jacket ensures easy identification in crowded patch panels and contributes to a safer environment by emitting minimal toxic smoke in case of fire, making it suitable for poorly ventilated spaces. The cable is backward compatible with 10Gb, 25Gb, and 40Gb networks, offering a clear upgrade path and future-proofing existing infrastructure investments.
