Overview
The Tripp Lite N816-05M is a 5-meter (16.4-foot) duplex multimode fiber patch cable designed for 10Gb Ethernet and other compatible fiber networking applications. It uses 50/125 OM3 multimode fiber with an SC connector on one end and an LC connector on the other.
Fiber Performance
The OM3 fiber construction supports 10Gb applications, with a specified maximum 10Gb distance of up to 300 meters at 850 nm when used within an appropriate network installation. The 50/125 fiber design is also backward compatible with existing 50/125 multimode fiber infrastructure.
Construction and Connectors
The cable contains two optical fibers for duplex communication and uses PC-polished connector endfaces. The SC-to-LC configuration provides a direct connection between equipment or patching components using these two connector formats. The aqua cable jacket is made with low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) material and carries an OFNR rating.
Key Features
- 5m (16.4ft) duplex 50/125 OM3 multimode fiber
- SC-to-LC connector configuration
- Designed for 10Gb Ethernet applications
- LSZH aqua jacket with OFNR rating
- Two-fiber construction with PC-polished endfaces
Applications
The N816-05M can be used for fiber links between network switches, patch panels, servers, data-center equipment and other compatible multimode fiber interfaces. Its SC-to-LC configuration is suited to installations where equipment and patching hardware use different connector formats.
DC Supplies Product Note
Verify the connector type and multimode fiber requirements of both connected devices before installation. The N816-05M uses SC on one end and LC on the other, so it is not an LC-to-LC or SC-to-SC patch cable.
