Tripp Lite N390-01M-8LC-AP

Overview

The Tripp Lite N390-01M-8LC-AP is a one-meter breakout patch cable designed to connect a single MTP/MPO APC port to four LC UPC ports using 9/125 micron singlemode fiber. It supports high-speed data transmission standards such as QSFP+ 40GBASE-PLR4 and QSFP28 100GBASE-PSM4, making it ideal for splitting 40 GbE or 100 GbE links into individual lanes. This cable is tailored for high-density network environments where space and airflow are critical, offering a plenum-rated jacket suitable for installation in ceilings, walls, and ducts.

Key features

• Breaks out a single MTP/MPO APC connection into four LC UPC connectors to simplify lane splitting for high-speed networks
• Uniboot design keeps the four LC legs bundled until the last few inches, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow in dense racks
• Bright yellow plenum-rated jacket allows quick identification of singlemode fiber and meets strict fire safety codes for versatile installation
• Push/pull tabs on every connector enable fast and easy insertion or removal even in tightly packed panels
• Compatible with QSFP+ 40GBASE-PLR4 and QSFP28 100GBASE-PSM4 transceivers for reliable long-distance, high-bandwidth data transmission
• Designed for short in-rack or cabinet runs, making it a practical choice for enterprise data centers, cloud co-location facilities, and campus backbones
• Backed by a Tripp Lite lifetime limited warranty, ensuring long-term dependability

Connectivity and compatibility

This breakout cable is engineered to interface seamlessly with QSFP+ and QSFP28 transceivers, enabling high-speed connections in modern network infrastructures. Its MTP/MPO APC connector ensures low insertion loss and high return loss performance, while the four LC UPC connectors provide compatibility with a wide range of singlemode fiber equipment. The cable’s plenum rating allows it to be routed through various building pathways without compromising safety or compliance.

Ideal uses and environments

Well suited for data centers and network cabinets where space is limited and airflow is essential, this cable supports high-bandwidth applications over long distances. It fits naturally into setups requiring lane splitting of 40 GbE or 100 GbE signals, such as top-of-rack switches and high-density patch panels. Its plenum-rated jacket also makes it a strong choice for installations that must meet fire safety regulations in commercial buildings.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
