Tripp Lite 40/100/400G Multimode 50/125 OM3 Fiber Optic Cable (24F MTP/MPO-PC F/F), LSZH, Aqua, 20 m (65.6 ft.)

The Tripp Lite N846B-20M-24-P is a 20 meter OM3 multimode fiber optic cable that brings reliable 40, 100, and 400 Gb Ethernet performance to high-density network spaces such as data centers, wiring closets, and telecom rooms. It gives network engineers a straightforward way to handle today’s bandwidth demands while keeping an eye on future upgrades.

Both ends feature factory-terminated 24-fiber MTP/MPO connectors with a physical-contact polish. Because every assembly is tested for low insertion and attenuation loss before it leaves the factory, you can plug it in with confidence and move on to more pressing tasks. The parallel optics design works well between high-port-count switches, core routers, or patch panels where space is at a premium and speed is critical.

The OM3 fiber has a 50 micron core and 125 micron cladding, allowing it to carry up to 400 Gb signals over the short distances common inside a rack row or across a equipment room. If your infrastructure still runs at 10, 25, 40, or 100 Gb, the cable remains fully compatible, so you can install it now and shift to higher speeds when your hardware is ready.

An aqua jacket makes the cable easy to spot among bundles of copper and other fiber runs. The jacket uses material that produces very little smoke and contains no halogens, an important safety factor in enclosed spaces where air quality and fire codes matter.

At 20 meters, the cable comfortably bridges adjacent racks, end-of-row switches, or a pair of fiber patch panels on opposite walls without leaving excessive slack to manage. Network administrators in enterprise IT, cloud hosting, or high-performance computing environments will appreciate the balance of speed, safety, and ease of deployment.

Highlights:

• Supports 40, 100, and 400 Gb Ethernet over OM3 multimode fiber
• Backward compatibility with 10, 25, 40, and 100 Gb networks protects current investments
• Factory-terminated 24-fiber MTP/MPO connectors are 100 percent tested for low insertion and attenuation loss
• 50 micron core and 125 micron cladding meet OM3 specifications
• Aqua jacket uses low smoke zero halogen material for added safety and easy identification
• 20 meter length suits short-reach links inside data centers and telecom rooms
