Tripp Lite N383L-05M

Overview

The Tripp Lite N383L-05M is a singlemode fiber optic patch cable designed to support high-speed data transmission at 40, 100, and 400 gigabit Ethernet rates. With a length of five meters (16.4 feet), it is ideal for short backbone or inter-rack connections within data centers and telecom rooms. This cable features a duplex SN-UPC connector on one end and a duplex LC-UPC connector on the other, enabling seamless integration between newer SN port equipment and legacy LC-based hardware.

Key features

• Supports 40, 100, and 400 gigabit Ethernet links for current and future high-bandwidth needs
• Duplex SN-UPC connector with a footprint about four times smaller than standard LC pairs, saving valuable panel space
• Switchable SN connector design allows polarity reversal on site without tools, reducing downtime during moves, adds, and changes
• Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber ensures low signal loss over longer distances, maintaining data integrity
• Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket in yellow enhances safety by limiting toxic fumes and provides easy visual identification
• Five meter length is well suited for short inter-rack or backbone runs, fitting typical data center layouts

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable bridges equipment with SN ports to devices using LC connectors, making it a practical choice for incremental upgrades in mixed environments. The compact SN connector frees up space on high-density panels, which is especially valuable in hyperscale data centers and carrier networks. Its polarity switch feature simplifies installation and maintenance without requiring specialized tools.

Ideal uses and environments

Designed for data centers, telecom rooms, and enterprise backbones, this cable fits well in environments where space is limited and high-speed connectivity is essential. The LSZH jacket makes it suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated areas where fire safety is a concern. It is a strong choice for network administrators managing both legacy and modern fiber optic equipment who need reliable, high-bandwidth links with minimal downtime.

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.
