Eaton Tripp Lite N846D-05M-16DMG 400G OM4 Fiber Optic Cable

Detailed Specifications

The Eaton Tripp Lite N846D-05M-16DMG is a high-performance multi-mode fiber optic network cable engineered to meet the demanding requirements of next-generation 400 Gigabit Ethernet (400GbE) networks. Designed for robust connectivity within hyperscale data centers, cloud computing infrastructures, and enterprise network backbones, this cable addresses the critical need for increased bandwidth and efficient data transfer. It effectively mitigates bottlenecks, ensuring seamless communication in environments where high-speed, low-latency performance is paramount. This OM4 (Optical Multimode 4) rated cable features precision-engineered MTP/MPO (Multi-fiber Push On/Pull Off) female connectors, specifically a 16-fiber MPO on one end breaking out to two 12-fiber MPO connectors on the other. This configuration is optimized for integration with the latest QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Double Density) transceivers, enabling high-density parallel optical connections. The cable's 50/125 micron fiber core ensures reliable signal integrity over distances up to 100 meters at 850 nm, supporting the intense data rates characteristic of modern, high-bandwidth applications. With a plenum-rated jacket, the N846D-05M-16DMG is suitable for installation in air plenums, drop ceilings, and raised floors, adhering to stringent fire safety codes for in-building use. Its distinctive magenta jacket provides quick and easy identification in crowded patch panels and network racks, simplifying cable management and reducing the risk of accidental disconnections or misconfigurations. The 5-meter length offers flexibility for various deployment scenarios, making it an ideal choice for connecting switches, servers, and storage devices in high-density IT environments.
