Eaton N482-2M12-LC12 Tripp Lite 40Gb to 10Gb Breakout Cassette Fiber

The Eaton N482-2M12-LC12 is a high-density fiber optic breakout cassette engineered to seamlessly bridge the gap between 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 10 GbE network infrastructures. Designed for enterprise data centers and high-performance computing environments, this cassette facilitates efficient scaling and upgrades by converting two 12-fiber OM4 MTP/MPO connections into twelve individual LC connections. Its primary purpose is to enable the breakout of higher-speed MTP/MPO trunk cables into lower-speed LC connections required by 10 GbE equipment, thereby optimizing existing cabling investments and simplifying network architecture. This breakout cassette leverages internal OM4 multimode fiber, ensuring compatibility with current high-speed fiber deployments while offering a robust pathway for data transmission. The use of factory-terminated connectors significantly reduces installation time and labor costs, minimizing the potential for errors associated with field terminations. It adheres to critical industry standards, including IEEE 802.3ae for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and ANSI T11.2 for Fibre Channel, guaranteeing reliable performance and interoperability within diverse networking ecosystems. The low maximum insertion loss of 0.35dB ensures signal integrity over specified distances, supporting demanding application requirements. The Eaton N482-2M12-LC12 is purpose-built for easy integration into the Tripp Lite N482-01U and N482-02U high-density fiber enclosure panels. Its modular design allows for tool-free installation and removal, utilizing convenient push/pull tabs to lock or unlock the cassette from the panel, streamlining network modifications and maintenance. This approach provides IT managers and engineers with a flexible, scalable solution for managing fiber optic connections in environments where space efficiency and rapid deployment are crucial.
