Tripp Lite N383S-05M

Overview

The Tripp Lite N383S-05M is a 5 meter singlemode OS2 fiber optic cable designed to support 400 Gb Ethernet networks. It features SN-UPC duplex connectors that save space by occupying only a quarter of the footprint of traditional LC connectors, making it ideal for high-density rack environments. This cable is built to deliver the bandwidth modern switches and servers require while maintaining reliable performance and physical flexibility.

Its low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket enhances safety by minimizing toxic fumes in case of fire, which is crucial for facilities with strict building codes or limited ventilation. The vivid yellow jacket also helps technicians quickly identify and trace cables in dense bundles, reducing the risk of accidental disconnects and downtime.

Key features

• Supports 400 Gb Ethernet over 9/125 µm OS2 singlemode fiber for high-speed data transmission
• Space-saving SN-UPC duplex connectors compatible with OSFP and QSFP-DD transceivers
• Tool-free polarity switching on each connector allows quick moves, adds, and changes without extended maintenance
• Low-smoke zero-halogen jacket reduces toxic emissions, enhancing safety in data centers
• Bright yellow jacket improves cable identification and management in crowded racks
• Maintains a minimum bend radius of 20 mm during installation and 10 mm when static, ensuring durability and flexibility
• Wide operating temperature range from -10 °C to 60 °C suits typical data hall environments

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to work seamlessly with modern high-speed networking equipment that uses OSFP and QSFP-DD transceivers. Its SN-UPC duplex connectors provide a compact and efficient connection, making it well suited for linking core switches, extending backbone links between server rows, or integrating into hyperscale data center environments. The polarity switch feature ensures compatibility with various network configurations without requiring additional tools or cable replacements.

Ideal uses and environments

The Tripp Lite N383S-05M fits well in enterprise and hyperscale data centers where space is limited and airflow is critical. Its 5 meter length is perfect for short to medium runs inside racks or between adjacent racks, supporting infrastructure that demands high bandwidth and low latency. Facilities with strict safety regulations will benefit from the LSZH jacket, while the cable’s flexibility and durability make it a reliable choice for future-proofing 400 G network installations.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

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.
