Tripp Lite 40/100/400G Multimode 50/125 OM4 Fiber Optic Cable (3x8F MTP/MPO-PC F/F), LSZH, Magenta, 23m (75.5 ft.)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N858B-23M-3X8MG is a multimode OM4 fiber optic cable designed to support high-speed data transmission at 40, 100, or 400 gigabits per second. With a length of 23 meters (75.5 feet), it effectively connects high-density patch panels to active hardware in data centers, telecom rooms, and wiring closets. The cable’s 50/125 micrometer core and cladding ensure low attenuation and reliable signal integrity for short reach applications where uptime and repeatability are critical.

Key features

• Supports 40, 100, and 400 Gigabit Ethernet, providing flexibility for current and future network upgrades
• Switchable MTP/MPO female connectors enable quick polarity reversal without specialized tools, simplifying installation and maintenance
• Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket reduces toxic emissions in case of fire, enhancing safety compliance in sensitive environments
• Distinct magenta jacket color allows for easy cable identification and reduces the risk of unplugging the wrong connection in dense setups
• Optimized for short reach with OM4 glass fiber that maintains high bandwidth and low signal loss, ensuring stable communication between servers, switches, and storage arrays
