Tripp Lite N823L-05M-MG

Overview

The Tripp Lite N823L-05M-MG is a multimode fiber optic cable designed to support high-speed data transmission at 40, 100, and 400 Gb Ethernet speeds. It uses OM4 fiber optimized for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections, making it well suited for hyperscale data centers, telecom networks, and cloud infrastructure. The cable features a 5-meter length with a magenta low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket for easy identification and enhanced safety in enclosed spaces.

One end of the cable has a compact duplex SN-PC connector compatible with the latest OSFP and QSFP-DD transceivers, while the other end uses a duplex LC-PC connector. The SN connector’s smaller size helps reduce cable clutter and improve airflow in dense rack environments. Its switchable polarity design allows quick adjustments without tools, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Key features

• Supports 40, 100, and 400 Gb Ethernet speeds to accommodate current and future high-bandwidth networking needs
• OM4 multimode fiber optimized for reliable short-distance data transmission with high bandwidth
• Compact duplex SN connector reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in dense rack setups
• Switchable polarity on SN connectors enables fast polarity changes without requiring tools
• Magenta LSZH jacket enhances cable identification and reduces toxic smoke emissions in case of fire
• Backward compatibility with 40 Gb and 100 Gb networks protects existing infrastructure investments

Key specs

• Length: 5 meters (16.4 feet)
• Connector 1: Duplex SN-PC (multimode)
• Connector 2: Duplex LC-PC (multimode)
• Supported speeds: 40 Gb, 100 Gb, 400 Gb Ethernet
• Cable jacket: Low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH), magenta color

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to connect modern transceivers using OSFP and QSFP-DD standards on one end with traditional duplex LC transceivers on the other. Its compatibility with 40 Gb and 100 Gb networks ensures it integrates smoothly into existing setups while supporting upgrades to 400 Gb speeds. The switchable polarity feature helps maintain proper signal alignment without complex rewiring.

Ideal uses and environments

The N823L-05M-MG fits well in data centers and telecom environments where high-speed, short-distance fiber connections are essential. Its compact connectors and LSZH jacket make it suitable for dense rack installations where airflow and safety are priorities. Network engineers and IT professionals will find it a practical choice for upgrading or expanding high-bandwidth networks without replacing all cabling.

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.
