Tripp Lite N381L-01M Fiber Optic Duplex Patch Cable Lc Lc

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N381L-01M is a single-mode fiber optic duplex patch cable with LC connectors on both ends. It provides a low-loss optical connection between fiber networking equipment such as switches, routers, media converters, and SFP-equipped devices. The duplex LC-to-LC configuration carries simultaneous bidirectional signals over a single-mode 8.3-micron fiber core. Network technicians and structured-cabling installers use this cable to terminate fiber runs in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network closets where high-bandwidth, long-distance signal integrity is required.

This patch cable is suited for enterprise and commercial network installations. At 1 meter in length, it is typically used for short inter-equipment connections within a rack or patch panel to active device scenarios. The single-mode construction supports extended transmission distances when used with compatible single-mode optics. It ships as a single unit and is appropriate for installations following TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

Key Features

• Duplex LC-to-LC connector configuration for bidirectional single-mode fiber links
• 8.3-micron single-mode fiber core for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications
• 1-meter cable length suited for intra-rack and patch panel connections
• Low insertion loss supports clean signal transmission in enterprise environments
• Compatible with SFP and SFP+ transceivers in switches, routers, and media converters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single-mode duplex patch cable for use with LC-port-equipped fiber networking devices in enterprise and data center environments.

Installation Notes

This cable is installed by network technicians and structured-cabling professionals. Power down or place affected ports in a safe state before connecting or disconnecting fiber. Keep dust caps in place until the moment of installation to protect fiber end faces from contamination. Follow TIA-568 bend-radius minimums to avoid signal degradation, and never exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing.
