Tripp Lite N383S-05M OS2 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable 5M

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N383S-05M is a single-mode OS2 duplex fiber optic patch cable rated for 5 meters in length. This cable is designed to carry high-bandwidth optical signals between network switches, media converters, transceivers, and other active fiber-ready equipment. OS2 single-mode fiber supports longer transmission distances and lower signal attenuation than multimode alternatives, making it a reliable choice for backbone and inter-facility runs. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network infrastructure professionals typically specify this cable for structured cabling and data center applications.

This patch cable is suited for enterprise and commercial network environments where single-mode OS2 fiber infrastructure is already in place. It connects equipment at patch panels, fiber distribution units, and active network hardware. The duplex configuration supports simultaneous bidirectional data transmission, which is required by most fiber transceiver standards. At 5 meters, it is appropriate for equipment-room or data-center rack-to-rack connections.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber construction supports extended transmission distances with low attenuation
• Duplex configuration enables simultaneous bidirectional signal transfer
• 5-meter cable length suited for within-rack and cross-rack data center routing
• Designed for compatibility with standard fiber optic ports and transceivers
• Suitable for enterprise network backbone and structured cabling installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OS2 single-mode duplex fiber patch cable for use with enterprise network switches, media converters, and fiber transceivers that accept this connector type and fiber specification.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage network technicians install fiber patch cables as part of structured cabling systems. Power down or disable the relevant switch ports before connecting fiber if laser-emitting transceivers are present, as exposed fiber laser output can cause eye injury. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable to prevent signal loss or fiber damage. Follow local building codes and TIA/EIA structured cabling standards during installation.
