Tripp Lite 400G Duplex Multimode 50/125 OM4 Fiber Optic Cable (CS-PC/LC-PC), Round LSZH Jacket, Magenta, 3 m

Overview

The Tripp Lite N822L-03M-MG is a high-performance fiber optic cable designed to support Ethernet speeds up to 400Gb. It features an OM4 multimode fiber core with a 50/125 micron geometry and duplex communication, making it suitable for short to medium distance data transmission with minimal latency. The cable’s 3-meter length fits well for connections between adjacent racks, top-of-rack switches, or storage arrays, while its magenta low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket ensures easy identification and enhanced safety in data center environments.

Key features

• Supports Ethernet speeds up to 400Gb on OM4 multimode fiber for high-throughput network demands
• Duplex operation enables simultaneous two-way data transmission, improving network efficiency
• Compact CS connectors are approximately 40 percent smaller than LC connectors, allowing denser port arrangements and better airflow in patch panels
• Backward compatible with 40Gb and 100Gb equipment, protecting existing infrastructure investments and easing upgrades
• Magenta LSZH jacket provides clear visual identification and reduces toxic smoke emissions in case of fire, meeting safety requirements for colocation and plenum spaces
• Three-meter length is ideal for short links, minimizing cable slack and clutter in rack setups

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to fit seamlessly into existing multimode fiber networks, especially in data centers and telecom environments. The CS connector’s smaller size compared to LC connectors allows for higher port density on switches and patch panels, which is beneficial in space-constrained setups. Its backward compatibility with 40Gb and 100Gb Ethernet equipment means it can be integrated without replacing current hardware, supporting a smooth transition to 400Gb networks.

Ideal uses and environments

The Tripp Lite N822L-03M-MG is well suited for data center operators, cloud service providers, and telecom engineers who require reliable, high-speed connections over short distances. Its 3-meter length and compact connectors make it a strong choice for top-of-rack switch connections, adjacent rack links, and storage array interfaces. The LSZH jacket ensures compliance with safety standards in environments where fire safety and low smoke emissions are critical.
