Eaton N844-02M-8LC-PT MTP/MPO 8LC OM3 40GbE Fan-out Cable
Overview :
The Eaton N844-02M-8LC-PT is a high-density fiber optic fan-out cable engineered to support modern 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) networking environments. This specialized cable efficiently converts a single MTP/MPO connection into eight discrete LC connections, addressing the critical need for streamlined cabling and enhanced port density in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications rooms. It provides a robust and reliable solution for aggregating multiple 10GbE links into a single 40GbE channel, simplifying infrastructure while boosting performance. Utilizing OM3 multimode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding diameter, the N844-02M-8LC-PT is optimized for short-reach 40GBASE-SR applications. Its design facilitates bi-directional 40GbE transmission by allocating four fibers for sending and four for receiving, each operating at 10Gbps. The plenum-rated (OFNP) aqua jacket ensures safe installation in air-handling spaces, adhering to strict fire safety codes, making it suitable for a wide range of indoor deployments. Measuring 2 meters (6.56 feet) in length, this fan-out cable offers flexible deployment options for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections. It features push/pull tab connectors on both the MTP/MPO and LC ends, enabling easy, toolless installation and removal in high-density patching environments. The slim uniboot design further contributes to improved cable management and reduced clutter, maximizing valuable rack space and operational efficiency.
