What customers say
Network professionals highly value this Tripp Lite fan-out cable for its exceptional reliability in high-density data centers. The primary focus is on its seamless performance facilitating 40G to 10G breakout connections with minimal signal loss. Users confirm the OM4 fiber delivers the necessary bandwidth for modern virtualization and storage needs. A major point of satisfaction is the Plenum rating, ensuring compliance with critical fire safety codes for air handling installations. Customers find the pretested nature of the cable simplifies deployment significantly. While the initial cost is higher, the superior quality and mission-critical dependability make it a worthwhile investment for complex 40G migrations where infrastructure integrity is paramount.
Know before you buy
Yes. This cable features a plenum-rated (CMP) jacket, which is specifically designed to meet fire safety standards for installation in air-handling spaces like drop ceilings and raised floors.
The fan-out design allows you to bridge high-density MTP/MPO equipment to standard LC-based devices. It effectively breaks out a single 40Gbps connection into eight individual LC fiber strands, simplifying your patching and cable management.
Yes, this is an OM4 multimode cable engineered to support 40GBASE-SR4 data rates. It is fully capable of handling 10 GbE speeds and up to 40 Gbps for high-performance data center networking.
The push/pull tabs are integrated into the connector design to facilitate easy, one-handed insertion and removal in high-density environments. They are intended to stay on the connectors to maintain the ease of access they provide.
Yes, OM4 fiber is backward compatible with OM3. You can use this cable in an existing OM3 environment, though you will be limited to the performance specifications of the OM3 standard.
