Tripp Lite 40/100/400G Multimode 50/125 OM3 Fiber Optic Cable (12F MTP/MPO-PC F/F), Aqua, 1m (3.3 ft.)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N844B-01M-12-P is a multimode fiber optic cable designed to support high-speed data transmission for 40, 100, and 400 gigabit Ethernet networks. With a length of 1 meter (3.3 feet), it is ideal for short-distance connections within or between racks in data centers. The cable features an OM3 50/125 fiber core and terminates with 12-fiber MTP/MPO connectors on both ends, enabling efficient and high-density patching in demanding network environments.

Key features

• Supports high-bandwidth 40, 100, and 400 gigabit Ethernet links over OM3 multimode fiber up to 100 meters
• Aqua-colored Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket allows quick cable identification and enhances safety in enclosed spaces
• Compact 1-meter length fits well for intra-rack or short rack-to-rack connections, reducing cable clutter
• MTP/MPO connectors carry twelve fibers in a single plug, minimizing port usage and simplifying cable management
• Backward compatible with 10 Gb and 25 Gb networks, allowing seamless upgrades without repatching
• Push-pull tab design enables easy, tool-free insertion and removal even in densely packed equipment racks

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed for high-density network environments where space and port efficiency are critical. The MTP/MPO connectors support multi-fiber transmission, reducing the number of cables and ports needed for high-speed links. It works well with top-of-rack switches, storage area networks, and server uplinks that require reliable, high-bandwidth connections within the 100-meter OM3 fiber limit.

• Compatible with 40 Gb, 100 Gb, and 400 Gb Ethernet hardware
• Backward compatible with 10 Gb and 25 Gb Ethernet devices
• Ideal for use in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network racks

Installation and setup

The cable’s push-pull tab allows technicians to insert or remove it quickly without tools, which is especially helpful in crowded racks or patch panels. Its 1-meter length is optimized for short connections, reducing excess cable slack and improving airflow. The aqua jacket color helps identify the cable among other network lines, speeding up maintenance and troubleshooting tasks.

Ideal uses and environments

This fiber optic cable is a strong choice for data center managers and network engineers who need dependable, high-speed connections for server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links. It fits well in environments where incremental network upgrades are planned, as it supports current and future Ethernet speeds without requiring frequent cable replacements. The LSZH jacket makes it suitable for compliance-sensitive areas where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required for safety.
