400 GbE Cable Supports Higher Bandwidths Needed for Next-Gen Data Networking
As the amount of traffic in data networks grows, so does the need for next-generation devices and fiber cables to support much higher bandwidths in cloud services, hyperscale data centers, telecom applications and equipment OEM companies. This duplex multimode 50/125 OM3 cable is an ideal choice for 400G Ethernet applications up to 100 meters (at 850 nm). It is also backward compatible with 40 Gb and 100 Gb networks, so you can future-proof your current application for an eventual upgrade to 400 Gb.
Switchable LC Duplex Connectors Provide Ease in Switching Polarity
The N844X-01M-8L-P cable features MTP/MPO to (x4) switchable LC Duplex connector ends on both sides of the cable providing the ability to switch polarity depending on your application. This can allow for stacked LC adpaters, eliminating the need for dual zip cords and reduce overall bulk cabling in high density situations. The 12-fiber MTP/MPO connectors with 12x density of SC connectors freeing up circuit card and rack space for other cables. Additionally, the 2.0mm round cable design provides a thin diameter allowing the polarity to be switched without any tools. Just remove the clipped piece holding the connector ends together on each side, identify the send and receive ends and switch the polarity of those ends based on your application needs.
Aqua Jacket Helps Avoid Misidentification That Can Cause Costly Downtime
The OM3-rated cable has a aqua jacket, which is easy to identify quickly in a crowded patch panel or switch and helps prevent the cable from becoming accidentally disconnected. The round low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket limits the amount of toxic smoke emitted in case of combustion, making it suitable for poorly ventilated areas.
