MODEL NUMBER: N482-3M8L12S

Singlemode fiber cassette installs in Tripp Lite N482-Series chassis to connect 12 duplex LC fiber cables
with three 8-fiber MTP/MPO (APC) connections in high-density network applications.

Description

The N482-3M8L12S 8.3/125 Singlemode Fiber Optic 40/100 Gb to 10/25 Gb Breakout Cassette works in
tandem with Tripp Lite’s N482-00U, N482-01U or N482-02U chassis to join 12 duplex LC fiber cables with
three 8-fiber MTP/MPO connections. Ideal for interconnecting any combination of 10Gb, 25Gb, 40Gb and
100Gb network equipment in a simple, elegant and highly flexible way, it’s compatible with recommended
Tripp Lite cabling, including the N370- and N390-Series. Its 8-fiber MTP ports are Polarity B, optimized for
parallel optics and Base-8 connectivity.

The fiber optic cassette installs easily in the N482-00U, N482-01U or N482-02U chassis chassis with no
tools required. Just insert the cassette into the chassis, and tighten its retention clips to secure it. Plug LC
patch cables, such as Tripp Lite’s N370- and N390-Series cables, into the cassette using the cable’s
convenient push/pull tabs. One cassette fits into the N482-00U chassis, five fit into the N482-01U, and 14
fit into the N482-02U. Dust tabs protect unused ports from potential damage.

The modular design makes it easy to modify, upgrade or expand your infrastructure as your needs grow. If
you need to change out a single cassette, you can do so without replacing the panel or removing other
cassettes. Because this system supports devices of varying speeds, you can mix and match 10Gb, 25Gb,
40Gb and 100Gb network equipment. The fiber cassette supports 40/100 GbE internally using singlemode
fiber optic cables and is ideal for QSFP fabric switches that use eight out of 12 available MTP fibers for
four-lane parallel optics to 40/100 Gb.
