Eaton N844-01M-8LC-PT OM3 40GbE MTP-LC Fiber Optic Cable

Detailed Specifications

The Eaton N844-01M-8LC-PT is a high-performance, 1-meter fiber optic fan-out cable designed to facilitate 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) connectivity in high-density networking environments. This specialized cable transforms a single MTP/MPO port into eight individual LC connections, addressing the critical need for increased port density and streamlined cable management within data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications rooms. It provides an efficient solution for breaking out high-speed MPO/MTP uplinks to multiple 10GbE devices or connecting to fiber cassettes for structured cabling. Utilizing OM3 multimode fiber with a 50/125 micron core/cladding diameter, the N844-01M-8LC-PT supports 40GBASE-SR4 applications, ensuring reliable and fast data transmission over short to medium distances. The MTP/MPO connector on one end is engineered to match the density of eight LC connectors, offering significant space savings. Its premium-grade ceramic ferrules are specifically designed for 10GbE and faster applications, providing superior performance and reduced insertion loss. The cable is also backward compatible with existing 50/125 fiber infrastructure, allowing for seamless integration into current network setups while enabling future upgrades. This fan-out cable is ideal for connecting active network equipment with MTP/MPO ports to switches, servers, or patch panels equipped with LC ports. Its 1-meter length is suitable for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections where equipment is in close proximity. The cable features a plenum-rated jacket, making it safe for installation in air-handling spaces. Furthermore, its slim uniboot design minimizes cable bulk, improving airflow and simplifying organization within crowded racks. Push/pull tab connectors enhance accessibility, allowing for tool-free installation and removal with a single hand, which is crucial for maintaining high-density installations efficiently.
