Tripp Lite N844X-05M-8L-P 8-port Lc Fiber Breakout Cable 5M

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N844X-05M-8L-P is a multimode fiber optic breakout cable designed for enterprise network infrastructure. It features an MTP/MPO trunk connector on one end that splits into eight individual LC duplex connectors on the other, enabling high-density fiber connections in data center and enterprise switching environments. This type of cable is used to connect MTP/MPO-based fiber trunk systems to LC-port equipment such as switches, transceivers, and patch panels. Installation is typically performed by network technicians or low-voltage cabling professionals working in structured cabling environments.

This breakout cable suits high-density rack installations where space efficiency is critical. The 5-meter length accommodates typical in-rack and short cross-aisle runs between patch panels and active equipment. It is appropriate for 10G, 40G, and compatible multimode fiber applications found in enterprise data centers, server rooms, and campus network closets. The eight LC duplex breakout legs allow direct connection to individual SFP or SFP+ ports on switches and routers.

Key Features

• MTP/MPO to 8x LC duplex breakout configuration for high-density fiber deployments
• 5-meter cable length suited for in-rack and short inter-rack runs
• Multimode fiber construction compatible with common enterprise transceiver standards
• Eight individual LC duplex legs allow direct port-by-port connectivity
• Polarity type indicated in part number for proper end-to-end fiber alignment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install breakout cable for enterprise fiber infrastructure utilizing MTP/MPO trunk systems with LC duplex end equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or network cabling technician following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or place active ports in a safe state before connecting or disconnecting fiber transceivers. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and keep fiber end faces clean using appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating connectors. Do not route alongside high-voltage cabling runs.
