Tripp Lite Duplex Multimode 62.5/125 Fiber Patch Cable (LC/SC), 30M (100 ft.)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N316-30M is a duplex multimode fiber patch cable designed to provide a reliable high-speed optical connection for network devices. Featuring 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber, it supports Fast Ethernet and Gigabit applications, making it suitable for data centers, campus backbones, and office wiring closets where bandwidth and low latency are critical. With a length of 30 meters (100 feet), this cable bridges equipment across racks, rooms, or floors while minimizing signal loss.

Equipped with LC connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other, it allows seamless connection between devices with different port types without the need for additional adapters. The cable’s PVC jacket offers durability against pulls and bends during installation, and its OFNR riser rating permits safe use in vertical building pathways.
