Tripp Lite N390X-03M-8L-AP Mpo to Lc Fiber Cable 3M

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N390X-03M-8L-AP is a singlemode MPO to LC fiber optic breakout cable in a yellow jacket, indicating OS1 or OS2 singlemode fiber construction. This cable connects MPO trunk infrastructure to LC-terminated equipment such as switches, transceivers, and patch panels in structured cabling environments. It is sold as a single unit and measures 3 meters in length, making it well suited for short intra-rack and inter-rack runs. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers deploy this type of cable in data centers, enterprise switching rooms, and telecom closets where high-density MPO backbone cabling must break out to individual LC device ports.

This cable is designed for use in high-density fiber installations where an MPO connector on one end fans out to multiple LC connectors on the other. Typical applications include connecting MPO cassettes or trunk cables to active equipment with LC ports, supporting structured cabling architectures in data centers and enterprise network rooms. The yellow jacket color is the standard industry indicator for singlemode fiber, helping technicians quickly identify cable type during installation and maintenance.

Key Features

• MPO to LC connector configuration for high-density breakout applications
• Yellow jacket identifies singlemode fiber construction at a glance
• 3-meter length suits short intra-rack and inter-rack routing
• Single-unit packaging for targeted replacement or incremental deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental cable for structured singlemode fiber cabling systems using MPO backbone infrastructure and LC-connected active equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or network infrastructure specialist. Power down or place active ports in a safe state before connecting or disconnecting fiber to avoid optical hazard and transceiver damage. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, and avoid over-tightening cable ties that could stress the jacket. Follow TIA-568 or applicable structured cabling standards for labeling, routing, and documentation.
