Tripp Lite 400G Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Fiber Optic Cable (Duplex SN-UPC M/M), LSZH, Yellow, 5m (16.4 ft.)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N383S-05M is a 5 meter singlemode OS2 fiber optic cable designed to support 400 Gb Ethernet networks. It features SN-UPC duplex connectors that save space by occupying only a quarter of the footprint of traditional LC connectors, making it ideal for high-density rack environments. This cable is built to deliver the bandwidth modern switches and servers require while maintaining reliable performance and physical flexibility.

Its low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket enhances safety by minimizing toxic fumes in case of fire, which is crucial for facilities with strict building codes or limited ventilation. The vivid yellow jacket also helps technicians quickly identify and trace cables in dense bundles, reducing the risk of accidental disconnects and downtime.

Key features

• Supports 400 Gb Ethernet over 9/125 µm OS2 singlemode fiber for high-speed data transmission
• Space-saving SN-UPC duplex connectors compatible with OSFP and QSFP-DD transceivers
• Tool-free polarity switching on each connector allows quick moves, adds, and changes without extended maintenance
• Low-smoke zero-halogen jacket reduces toxic emissions, enhancing safety in data centers
• Bright yellow jacket improves cable identification and management in crowded racks
• Maintains a minimum bend radius of 20 mm during installation and 10 mm when static, ensuring durability and flexibility
• Wide operating temperature range from -10 °C to 60 °C suits typical data hall environments
