Tripp Lite N846D-05M-16AMG 16-strand Mpo Apc OM4 Fiber Cable

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N846D-05M-16AMG is a 16-strand MPO/APC multimode fiber optic cable built on OM4 glass. It provides high-density connectivity in structured cabling installations where bandwidth-intensive applications demand reliable glass performance. OM4 multimode fiber supports high data rates over short to medium runs, making this cable well suited for backbone connections inside data centers, server rooms, and enterprise switching environments. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this assembly.

This cable is designed for high-density MPO-based fiber distribution systems found in enterprise data centers and telecommunications rooms. The angled physical contact (APC) polish on the MPO connectors reduces back-reflection, which is critical in systems running transceivers sensitive to return loss. At 5 meters in length, this assembly fits horizontal or short inter-rack runs in structured cabling designs. It is appropriate for use with MPO-compatible fiber cassettes, modules, and breakout panels that accept APC-polished connectors.

Key Features

• 16-strand MPO/APC connectors for high-density fiber distribution
• OM4 multimode glass supports high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances
• APC polish minimizes back-reflection for improved signal integrity
• 5-meter factory-terminated assembly eliminates field termination
• Pre-terminated design ensures consistent end-face quality

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit assembly for high-density MPO/APC OM4 multimode fiber interconnect applications in enterprise and data center structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or network infrastructure professional. Before routing, inspect both MPO connector end-faces with a fiber inspection scope and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools prior to mating. Avoid bending the cable tighter than the manufacturer-rated minimum bend radius and do not cinch cable ties over the jacket. Secure to cable management hardware using hook-and-loop fasteners rather than standard zip ties to prevent jacket deformation.
