Eaton Tripp Lite Series N482-3M8-LC12 40 Gb to 10 Gb Fiber Breakout Cassette - High-Density LC and MTP/MPO Connections for Data Centers

Eaton Tripp Lite Series 40/100Gb Breakout Cassette, 40Gb to 4 x 10Gb, 100Gb to 4 x 25Gb (x3) 8-Fiber OM4 MTP/MPO (Male with Pins) to (x12) LC Duplex, Type-B Polarity

The Eaton Tripp Lite Series N482-3M8-LC12 fiber breakout cassette provides a versatile and efficient solution for high-density network environments. Designed to work seamlessly with Tripp Lite's N482-01U and N482-02U chassis, this cassette allows the connection of up to 12 LC duplex fiber cables through three 8-fiber MTP/MPO connections, facilitating a streamlined setup for 40 GbE and 10 GbE networks. Its modular design enables quick installation without tools—simply insert the cassette into the chassis and secure it with retention clips. The use of factory-terminated connectors ensures fast deployment and minimizes labor, while dust caps safeguard unused ports from contamination, maintaining optimal performance over time. This cassette supports high-speed data transfers over OM4 fiber optic cables, adhering to IEEE 802.3ae (10 GbE) and ANSI T11.2 (Fibre Channel) standards. The maximum insertion loss of 0.35 dB ensures signal integrity well within industry specifications, making it suitable for demanding data center applications. Its compatibility with QSFP fabric switches that utilize four lanes for parallel 40 GbE transmission allows for full utilization of all 12 LC duplex ports, providing flexibility and scalability for evolving network needs. The N482-3M8-LC12's robust construction and compliance with environmental standards make it a reliable component for expanding or upgrading fiber infrastructure, supporting devices operating at varying speeds including 10 Gb and 40 Gb. Whether used for new installations or upgrades, this high-quality cassette offers an efficient, space-saving solution that simplifies fiber connections and enhances network performance.
