Tripp Lite N858-15M-3X8-MG Fiber Trunk Cable Base-8

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N858-15M-3X8-MG is a pre-terminated fiber optic trunk cable built on a Base-8 architecture, providing three individual 15-meter legs in a single assembly. This type of multi-fiber trunk cable is designed for high-density structured cabling environments where backbone runs must be organized, repeatable, and quick to deploy. Installations typically use MTP or MPO connectors at each end to interface with cassettes, modules, or patch panels. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this cable during data center builds, enterprise backbone upgrades, or structured wiring projects requiring scalable fiber infrastructure.

This trunk assembly is well suited for data center main distribution area to horizontal distribution area runs, enterprise campus backbone links, and high-density server room interconnects. The Base-8 pinout aligns with 40G and 100G parallel optic architectures that use 8-fiber channels. The three-leg configuration allows a single trunk to serve multiple racks or equipment bays from a common origination point, reducing conduit fill and simplifying future moves, adds, and changes.

Key Features

• Base-8 fiber architecture supports 40G and 100G parallel optic applications
• Three 15-meter breakout legs in a single trunk assembly for multi-rack coverage
• Pre-terminated construction reduces field termination time and associated labor
• MTP/MPO interface compatible with standard high-density fiber cassettes and patch panels
• Designed for organized, high-density backbone routing in structured cabling systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or infrastructure component for high-density fiber patch and trunk systems using Base-8 MTP/MPO cassettes and panels in data center or enterprise structured cabling environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or network infrastructure professional familiar with fiber handling and bend-radius requirements. Always inspect ferrule end-faces with an appropriate fiber inspection scope before and after mating connectors. Avoid exceeding the cable minimum bend radius during routing through cable trays or conduit, and never cinch tie wraps tightly against fiber trunk assemblies.
