Detailed Specifications
Eaton N516-03M – Fiber Patch Cable
Overview :
The Eaton Tripp Lite Series N516-03M is a 3-meter (10-foot) multimode duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in legacy network infrastructures. Engineered for network engineers and data center technicians, it bridges optical hardware featuring LC connectors to legacy equipment equipped with SC interfaces.
Utilizing 50/125 micron core/cladding fiber optic glass, the N516-03M supports Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and Fiber Channel applications while offering lower attenuation compared to standard 62.5/125 fiber. Premium ceramic ferrules ensure precise optical alignment to minimize insertion loss across cross-connects and rack patching environments.
Deployable in data center server racks, telecom closets, enterprise SANs, and edge network enclosures. Compatible with multimode LC and SC optical transceivers and patch panels. Do NOT use in single-mode systems or high-density OM3/OM4 laser-optimized 10GbE/40GbE backbones specifying 850nm VCSEL optimization.
Key Features :
50/125 multimode fiber delivers higher bandwidth than 62.5 micron cable.
Male LC to male SC connectors bridge mismatched optical hardware ports.
Premium ceramic ferrules ensure tight alignment and low insertion loss.
FDDI-compliant orange PVC jacket allows immediate cable identification.
Factory attenuation testing guarantees optimal signal transmission.
