FAQs

What are the key features and specifications of the Tripp Lite N820-03M-TAA fiber optic cable?
The N820-03M-TAA is a high-performance OM3 multimode 50/125 fiber patch cable featuring duplex LC male connectors on both ends. It supports 10/40 Gb Ethernet applications up to 300 meters at 850 nm wavelength. The cable has an aqua OFNP jacket that's fire-resistant, making it ideal for plenum installations. It's 9.84 feet long and is optimized for use with VCSEL and LED light sources. The cable is TAA-compliant and comes with a lifetime warranty.
What type of connectors does this cable use and what's the connector configuration?
This cable features duplex male LC connectors on both ends (2 x LC Network - Male on each end). The connectors are polished (PC) for optimal performance and come in white, yellow, or beige colors. The duplex configuration supports bidirectional data transmission, making it ideal for network applications requiring both input and output connections.
What environments and applications is this cable best suited for?
The N820-03M-TAA is specifically designed for use in LANs, SANs, and high-speed parallel interconnects in head-ends, central offices, and data centers. Its OFNP (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Plenum) jacket makes it ideal for installation in plenum spaces like drop ceilings and raised floors. The cable supports various devices including patch panels, network devices, switches, and is optimized for VCSEL and LED laser applications.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
The cable supports data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbit/s and is suitable for 10/40 Gb Ethernet applications. As an OM3-rated multimode fiber cable, it's optimized for high-bandwidth applications using the 850 nm wavelength, providing reliable performance for demanding network environments up to 300 meters (984 feet).
Is this cable compliant with any specific standards or certifications?
Yes, the N820-03M-TAA is compliant with multiple standards and certifications. It meets IEEE 802.3ae and TIA LOMMF standards, is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant for GSA Schedule purchases, and is RoHS certified for environmental safety. The cable is also environmentally friendly and features an OFNP rating for plenum installations.
