Eaton N482-3M8-LC12 Tripp Lite 40/100Gb OM4 Breakout Cassette
Overview
The Eaton N482-3M8-LC12 Tripp Lite series breakout cassette is a high-density fiber optic solution designed to optimize network infrastructure. This specialized module facilitates efficient connections between high-speed 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) or 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) equipment and lower-speed 10GbE or 25GbE devices, respectively. It is specifically engineered to address the growing demand for flexible and scalable fiber deployment within data centers, enterprise networks, and storage area networks. This breakout cassette features three 8-fiber MTP/MPO connections on one side that fan out to twelve LC Duplex ports on the other, utilizing OM4 multimode fiber. It supports Base-8 polarity, which is optimized for parallel optics, making it compatible with QSFP+ 40GBASE-SR4 to SFP+ 10GBASE-SR and QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 to SFP28 25GBASE-SR connections. The design ensures minimal signal degradation with a maximum insertion loss of 0.35 dB, complying with IEEE 802.3ae (10 GbE) and ANSI T11.2 (Fibre Channel) requirements. Designed for seamless integration, the N482-3M8-LC12 cassette installs effortlessly into compatible Tripp Lite N482-01U or N482-02U fiber enclosure panels without the need for tools. Its modular nature simplifies fiber management, reducing installation time and labor costs. This component is ideal for environments where high-bandwidth aggregation is necessary, allowing network managers to transition between different network speeds while maintaining a clean and organized cabling infrastructure.
