Tripp Lite Duplex Singlemode 9/125 Fiber Patch Cable (LC/LC), 5M (16 ft.)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N370-05M is a duplex singlemode fiber patch cable designed to connect LC ports over distances up to five meters (approximately 16 feet). It uses 9/125 micron glass fiber to support high-speed data transmission from 1 Gbps up to 400 Gbps, making it suitable for demanding network environments such as data centers and campus networks. The cable’s construction ensures minimal signal loss and reliable performance for switch uplinks, SAN interconnects, and other point-to-point optical links.

Key features

• Duplex LC connectors provide a straightforward connection between compatible devices with minimal insertion loss.
• Singlemode 9/125 fiber supports longer distances than multimode alternatives, maintaining signal integrity over extended runs.
• Factory-polished connectors tested to approximately 0.2 dB insertion loss ensure consistent, high-quality optical performance.
• PVC jacket with OFNR riser rating offers fire resistance suitable for riser cable installations in buildings.
• Bright yellow jacket color allows quick identification of singlemode fiber paths in complex cabling setups.
• Minimum bend radius of 20 mm enables flexible routing around corners and through dense cable trays without damaging the fiber.
• Wide operating temperature range from -4 °F to 140 °F supports reliable use in various environments.
• Compliance with RoHS and REACH standards ensures environmentally responsible materials and manufacturing.
• Lifetime limited warranty provides confidence in long-term durability and performance.
