Tripp Lite 400G Duplex Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Fiber Optic Cable (CS-UPC/CS-UPC), Round LSZH Jacket, Yellow, 10 m

Overview

The Tripp Lite N381C-10M is a duplex singlemode OS2 fiber optic cable designed for high-speed network connections, supporting 400 gigabit Ethernet with ease. Measuring ten meters in length, it is perfect for patching between racks or devices within the same rack, meeting optical requirements for distances up to two kilometers at 1310 nanometers. Its compact CS connectors reduce port space by about forty percent compared to LC connectors, making it ideal for dense switch panels and top-of-rack setups.

Key features

• Supports 400 gigabit Ethernet and OS2 standards for reliable high-bandwidth data transmission over long distances
• Ten meter length tailored for efficient rack-to-rack or panel-to-equipment patching in data centers
• Compact CS connectors save space and improve port density in crowded network environments
• Push and pull tabs on connectors enable quick, tool-free insertion and removal without disturbing adjacent cables
• Bend-insensitive fiber reduces signal loss when routing around tight corners or through complex cable paths
• Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket in bright yellow enhances visibility and contributes to fire safety in enclosed spaces
• Backward compatible with 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps optics, allowing seamless upgrades without replacing cabling
• Limited lifetime warranty ensures long-term reliability and peace of mind for network engineers
