Tripp Lite N482-3M8L12S-B User Manual

Guaranteed compatibility when used with recommended Tripp Lite cabling. Designed specifically for use
with Tripp Lite cables, such as the N370-series cables.

40/100Gb Fiber Breakout Cassette with Built-In
MTP Cables, 40Gb to 4 x 10Gb, 100Gb to 4 x

LC Duplex 9/125

MODEL NUMBER: N482-3M8L12S-B

Installs in select Tripp Lite fiber chassis to connect 12 LC duplex fiber cables with three 8-fiber MTP/MPO
connections in high-density network applications.

Description

The N482-3M8L12S-B 8.3/125 Fiber Breakout Cassette works in tandem with Tripp Lite’s N482-01U or
N482-02U chassis to connect 12 LC duplex fiber cables with three 8-fiber MTP/MPO connections in high­density network applications. The cassette features three built-in 2-meter 8-fiber MTP cables. Color-coded
yellow singlemode cables are easily distinguished from traditional aqua OM3 multimode fiber.

The cassette’s modular design installs easily in the N482-01U and N482-02U chassis with no tools
required. Just insert the cassette into the chassis, and screw in its retention clips to secure it. Plug LC
patch cables, such as Tripp Lite’s N370-series cables, into the cassette. Up to five N482-3M8L12S-B
cassettes fit in the N482-01U 1U enclosure panel, and up to 14 cassettes fit in the N482-02U 2U sleeve.
Dust tabs protect unused ports from potential damage. Guaranteed compatibility when used with
recommended Tripp Lite cabling. Designed specifically for use with Tripp Lite cables, such as the N370­series cables.

The N482-3M8L12S-B complies with IEEE 802.3ae (10 GbE) and ANSI T11.2 (Fibre Channel)
requirements. Supports 40 GbE internally using 8.3/125 singlemode fiber optic cable. Ideal for QSFP
fabric switches that use eight out of 12 available MTP fibers for four-lane parallel optics to 40 GB, allowing
all 12 LC duplex cassette ports to be used. Maximum insertion loss of 0.35 dB falls well under the IEEE

802.3ae maximum channel loss specification of <25 dB. This cassette also supports devices of varying
speeds, including 10Gb, 25Gb, 40Gb and 100Gb network equipment.
