Eaton Tripp Lite Series N482-3M8L12S Singlemode Fiber Optic 40/100 Gb to 10 Gb Breakout Cassette

Eaton Tripp Lite Series 40/100Gb Singlemode Fiber, 40Gb to 4 x 10Gb, 100Gb to 4 x 25Gb, Breakout Cassette, (x3) 8-Fiber MTP/MPO (APC) to (x12) LC (UPC) Duplex 9/125, N482 Chassis

The Eaton Tripp Lite N482-3M8L12S singlemode fiber optic breakout cassette provides a highly efficient and flexible solution for interconnecting high-speed network equipment. Designed for use with Tripp Lite's N482-00U, N482-01U, and N482-02U chassis, this module allows seamless connection of three 8-fiber MTP/MPO ports to twelve duplex LC fiber cables. Its compatibility with 10 Gb, 40 Gb, and 100 Gb network speeds makes it ideal for data centers, high-performance computing, and enterprise networking environments. Installation is straightforward, requiring no tools; simply insert the cassette into the chassis and secure it with retention clips, then connect compatible LC patch cables using the push/pull tabs. Dust caps protect unused ports, maintaining the integrity of the connectors and ensuring optimal performance. The modular design facilitates easy upgrades, modifications, and expansion—allowing individual cassettes to be replaced or swapped without disturbing the entire infrastructure. This flexibility supports future growth and evolving network demands, making it a future-proof choice for network administrators. The N482-3M8L12S complies with IEEE 802.3ae (10 GbE) and ANSI T11.2 (Fibre Channel) standards, with a maximum insertion loss of just 0.35 dB, well within acceptable limits for high-speed fiber optic channels. Constructed from durable plastic and factory-terminated for quick setup, this cassette ensures reliable, high-performance connections using singlemode fiber. Its design is optimized for parallel optics and Base-8 connectivity, supporting four lanes of parallel transmission for 40/100 GbE via QSFP switches. Compatibility with Tripp Lite's recommended cabling, including the N370- and N390-Series, guarantees seamless integration within existing fiber infrastructure. The product's RoHS compliance and lifetime warranty underscore its quality and environmental responsibility, making it a dependable choice for mission-critical networking applications.
