Tripp Lite N302-006

Overview

The Tripp Lite N302-006 is a duplex multimode fiber patch cable designed to deliver fast and reliable data transmission across local area networks. With a length of 6 feet (1.83 meters), it provides an optimal balance between reach and cable management, making it suitable for connecting patch panels, switches, and network interface cards. The cable features 62.5/125 zipcord fiber and factory-terminated ST connectors on both ends, ensuring quick installation and secure connections with minimal signal loss.

Engineered for IT professionals managing server rooms, campus backbones, or laboratory setups, this cable supports high-bandwidth applications such as FDDI and Fast Ethernet. Its durable PVC jacket and OFNR riser rating make it safe for vertical runs in building riser spaces, while maintaining flexibility and resistance to everyday wear during installation and rearrangement.

Connectivity and compatibility

This patch cable is designed to interface seamlessly with network equipment featuring ST fiber optic ports, commonly found in enterprise-grade switches, patch panels, and network interface cards. Its duplex configuration supports simultaneous bidirectional data transmission, which is essential for maintaining high-speed network links. The cable’s multimode fiber core is well suited for short to medium distance runs within buildings, making it a practical choice for structured cabling in data centers and campus environments.

Durability and installation

The cable’s PVC jacket provides protection against physical stress such as pulling and bending during installation or routine maintenance. Its OFNR riser rating certifies it for safe vertical runs in riser shafts, meeting building code requirements for fire safety. The beveled glass ferrules on the ST connectors ensure smooth insertion and a secure fit, reducing the risk of connection issues and signal degradation over time.

Who this cable is for

The Tripp Lite N302-006 is a strong choice for network administrators and IT professionals who require reliable fiber optic connections within server rooms, data centers, or campus networks. It fits well in environments where maintaining signal quality and adhering to safety standards are critical. This cable is particularly suitable for setups that use legacy FDDI or Fast Ethernet protocols and need a durable, easy-to-install fiber patch solution.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
