Eaton N482-3M8L12S-B N482 Series 40/100Gb Breakout Cassette
Overview
The Eaton N482-3M8L12S-B is a high-density fiber breakout cassette designed to streamline and optimize fiber optic connectivity within modern data center and enterprise network environments. This essential component facilitates seamless transitions from high-bandwidth MTP/MPO cabling to individual LC duplex connections, making it ideal for interconnecting diverse network equipment. It primarily addresses the challenge of deploying 40GbE and 100GbE applications by efficiently breaking out three 8-fiber MTP/MPO singlemode connections into twelve LC duplex singlemode connections. Engineered for performance, the N482-3M8L12S-B supports a wide range of speeds, including 10Gb, 25Gb, 40Gb, and 100Gb Ethernet equipment, ensuring versatile compatibility and future-proofing your network infrastructure. It utilizes 9/125 (OS2) singlemode fiber, providing the necessary bandwidth and low signal loss for extended distances typical in singlemode deployments. The cassette achieves a maximum insertion loss of 0.35 dB, comfortably meeting stringent IEEE 802.3ae (10 GbE) and ANSI T11.2 (Fibre Channel) requirements. This modular cassette integrates seamlessly into Eaton’s N482-series fiber enclosure panels, such as the N482-01U and N482-02U chassis. Its toolless installation design allows for quick and easy deployment or modification of fiber optic infrastructure, significantly reducing labor and maintenance time. With factory-terminated connectors, the N482-3M8L12S-B ensures optimal performance and reliability for critical network uplinks and cross-connects, providing a robust and flexible solution for managing high-density fiber cabling.
