Duplex Singlemode Patch Cable

The Tripp Lite N368-50M is a 164 ft duplex singlemode fibre optic patch cable built with 8.3/125 glass fibre. It terminates in two LC male connectors on one end and two ST male connectors on the other. The yellow zipcord jacket identifies the singlemode rating. It suits network equipment that requires singlemode patch leads for long-distance links.

Bandwidth and Distance Limits

Singlemode 8.3/125 fibre delivers twice the bandwidth throughput of multimode cable, supporting far longer runs without repeaters. Attenuation loss meets or exceeds current industry standards for error-free signal transfer. The practical reach is still bounded by the transceiver optics and link budget of the connected hardware, not by the cable alone.

Connector Pairing Decides Fit

The fixed LC-to-ST connector combination determines whether this patch cable matches the ports on your switches, routers or patch panels. Both ends use male ferrules that meet stringent insertion-loss specifications. If your equipment presents a different connector type or gender, a different patch lead is required.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 164 ft singlemode cable or a shorter multimode run for my link?

Singlemode 8.3/125 fibre supports twice the bandwidth throughput of multimode, so the 164 ft length is suited to long-haul campus or building-to-building links where multimode would limit distance.

What does the 8.3/125 micron specification mean once the patch cord is installed?

The 8.3 micron core and 125 micron cladding define singlemode geometry that carries one light path, giving low attenuation and high bandwidth over the full 164 ft without modal dispersion.

How do the LC and ST connectors affect what the cable can connect to?

Duplex LC on one end and duplex ST on the other let you patch directly between modern LC transceivers and legacy ST equipment without extra adapters.
