Tripp Lite 400G Duplex Multimode 50/125 OM4 Fiber Optic Cable (CS-PC/CS-PC), Round LSZH Jacket, Magenta, 1 m

Overview

The Tripp Lite N822C-01M-MG is a 400G duplex multimode fiber optic cable designed to deliver high-speed data transmission for demanding network environments. It supports 400 Gb Ethernet speeds over distances up to 100 meters, making it suitable for cloud services, hyperscale data centers, and telecom applications where fast and reliable connections are essential. The cable features compact CS connectors that reduce space requirements and a magenta low-smoke zero-halogen jacket for easy identification and enhanced safety.

Key features

• Supports 400 Gb Ethernet speeds, enabling rapid data transfer for high-performance networks
• OM4 multimode fiber optimized for 850 nm wavelength to maintain signal integrity over longer distances
• Compact CS connectors reduce cable clutter and allow for higher density installations in racks and panels
• Backward compatible with 40 GbE and 100 GbE networks, providing flexibility as infrastructure evolves
• Magenta low-smoke zero-halogen jacket improves safety by minimizing toxic smoke in case of fire and simplifies cable management
• Compatible with 400G QSFP-DD transceivers, ensuring seamless integration with modern networking equipment

Key specs

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode (50/125 µm)
• Connector type: CS to CS (CS-PC/CS-PC)
• Cable length: 1 meter
• Maximum supported distance: up to 100 meters at 400 Gb Ethernet speeds
• Wavelength: 850 nm optimized
• Jacket type: Low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH), magenta color
• Compatible transceivers: 400G QSFP-DD, also supports 40 GbE and 100 GbE

Connectivity and compatibility

This fiber optic cable is designed to work seamlessly with 400G QSFP-DD transceivers, which are common in modern data center switches and routers. Its CS connectors are significantly smaller than traditional LC connectors, allowing for denser port configurations and easier cable management in tight spaces. The cable’s backward compatibility with 40 GbE and 100 GbE networks means it can be integrated into existing setups without requiring immediate upgrades to all components.

Ideal uses and environments

The cable fits well in hyperscale data centers, cloud service infrastructures, and telecom environments where high bandwidth and low latency are critical. Its LSZH jacket makes it a strong choice for installations in areas where fire safety and air quality are concerns, such as crowded server rooms or commercial buildings. The 1-meter length is ideal for connecting equipment within racks or between closely positioned devices, ensuring a clean and efficient setup.
