20-inch OM3 duplex patch cable

The Tripp Lite N820-20N is a .5 metre duplex multimode fibre cable with LC connectors on both ends. It is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centres and enterprise racks. The aqua LSZH jacket meets low-smoke zero-halogen requirements for plenum spaces.

Check connector type and fibre grade

Verify that your transceivers and patch panels use LC duplex interfaces before ordering. Confirm the existing cabling is 50/125 µm multimode so the OM3 core matches without mode mismatch. Ensure the link budget allows the planned run length within the rated distance.

Thermals noise and power

Passive fibre carries no electrical current so it generates no heat and makes no noise. The cable draws zero power and adds no load to the rack cooling system. LSZH materials reduce toxic smoke if a fire occurs nearby.
