Tripp Lite N846D-03M-24CAQ Mpo Trunk Cable 24-fiber 3M

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N846D-03M-24CAQ is a 24-fiber MPO trunk cable terminated with female MPO connectors on both ends. Trunk cables like this one serve as high-density backbone connections in structured cabling systems, linking patch panels, fiber cassettes, and network equipment in data centers, enterprise wiring closets, and similar high-bandwidth environments. The female-to-female configuration is a common standard for pre-terminated MPO trunk assemblies. Licensed low-voltage and data cabling technicians typically handle installation of this type of fiber infrastructure.

This cable is suited for high-density fiber backbone runs in enterprise and data center environments. It supports multi-fiber parallel optic applications where MPO connectivity is used to aggregate multiple fiber channels into a single compact connector interface. The 3-meter length fits short intra-rack or inter-rack runs typical in structured cabling deployments. Installers working in MDA, HDA, or equipment-room zones will find this length appropriate for top-of-rack or end-of-row switch connections to fiber cassette modules.

Key Features

• 24-fiber MPO trunk configuration for high-density backbone cabling
• Female MPO connectors on both ends for standard trunk-to-cassette compatibility
• 3-meter cable length suited for short intra-rack and inter-rack runs
• Pre-terminated assembly reduces installation time compared to field-terminated fiber
• Designed for enterprise and data center structured cabling infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit trunk cable for high-density MPO fiber cabling systems using standard female MPO connector interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling procedures. Avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius and keep MPO connectors capped until the moment of connection to prevent contamination. Clean all MPO connector faces with an approved fiber optic cleaning tool before mating. Always verify fiber polarity of the trunk cable matches the intended cassette or panel layout before securing the run.
