Frequently Asked Questions - N455BC01IND Tripp Lite

What type of fiber does this N455-BC01-IND coupler support?

This coupler is designed for multimode fibers with LC/LC duplex connectors.

What IP rating does this coupler offer?

Alone, it has no IP rating. When used with a surface-mount enclosure N206-SB01-IND or a faceplate N206-FPXX-IND, it achieves IP44 (water splashes) or IP68 (immersion up to 1.5 m for 60 min) depending on configuration.

How to install the N455-BC01-IND bulkhead coupler?

Cut an opening in the enclosure or faceplate, insert the coupler and secure it with the provided screws. Use the included M16 cable glands for cable entries. Refer to section 2 of the manual.

Is this coupler compatible with HDMI or USB cables?

No, this model is specific to fiber optics. For HDMI, use P569-000-FF-IND; for USB, U325-000-IND.

What fiber cables to use with the N455-BC01-IND?

Use the duplex multimode fiber patch cables from the N820-XXM-IND series (e.g., N820-01M-IND for 1 m).

Is the N455-BC01-IND waterproof alone?

No. For protection against water and dust, it must be installed in a Tripp Lite IND series enclosure or faceplate with appropriate cables.

Can I use this coupler outdoors?

Yes, if mounted in a suitable enclosure (e.g., N206-SB01-IND) and cables are properly sealed, it withstands harsh outdoor conditions.

What is the warranty of the N455-BC01-IND?

Tripp Lite offers a limited lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Does this coupler support immersion?

In combination with an IP68 enclosure (like the N206-SB01-IND) and waterproof cables, it can be immersed up to 1.5 m for 60 minutes.

What tools are needed for installation?

A screwdriver (not included) and possibly a tool to remove the knockouts from the enclosure.
