Tripp Lite OM5 Duplex Patch Cable

The Tripp Lite N820-03M-OM5 is a 3 metre duplex multimode fibre patch cable terminated with LC male connectors on both ends. It is built for data centres and enterprise networks that run 40 or 100 Gigabit Ethernet over 50/125 micron fibre. The lime green jacket identifies the OM5 rating at a glance.

Sustained 40/100 Gb Performance

Rated OM5, the cable supports 40 and 100 Gb speeds up to 300 metres at 850 nm using cost-effective VCSEL light sources. Wideband multimode construction maintains signal integrity across multiple wavelengths during continuous high-throughput operation. Backward compatibility with OM3 and OM4 links protects existing infrastructure investment.

Upgrade From OM3 or OM4 Links

This patch cable replaces older OM3 or OM4 duplex assemblies when bandwidth demand exceeds their wavelength capacity. The jump is worth it for operators extending 100 Gb runs to the full 300 metre reach or adding wavelength-division multiplexing on the same fibre plant. It does not suit single-mode environments or runs beyond the 300 metre multimode limit.

Questions about this item

Does the 3 m OM5 cable generate any heat or draw power during continuous 100 Gb operation?

No, the duplex multimode fibre is completely passive so it produces no heat and consumes no power at any speed.

What equipment must I already have to use the LC male connectors on this patch cable?

You need transceivers or switch ports fitted with LC duplex receptacles that accept 50/125 µm multimode fibre.

Will the OM5 cable work with my existing OM3 and OM4 links running at 40 Gb?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with OM3 and OM4 applications and supports 40/100 Gb speeds up to 300 meters at 850 nm.
