Description
Eaton Tripp Lite Breakout Cassette: 2×24-Fiber MTP/MPO to 6×12-Fiber OM4 MTP/MPO (100/120 Gb to 40 Gb)
Elevate your data-center fiber backbone with the Eaton Tripp Lite N482-2M24-6M12 Breakout Cassette. This high-density module is engineered to streamline multi-rate, high-bandwidth connectivity by converting two 24-fiber MTP/MPO trunks operating at 100 Gb or 120 Gb into six 12-fiber OM4 MTP/MPO outputs. Ideal for environments that demand scalable uplink/downlink configurations, the cassette integrates seamlessly with Tripp Lite’s N482-01U and N482-02U High Density Fiber Enclosure Panels, delivering exceptional density without compromising signal integrity. The design features male MTP/MPO connectors with pins for secure mating, robust performance, and dependable, long-term operation in busy data centers, enterprise campuses, and HPC clusters.
Whether you’re expanding a current 40 Gb network or migrating toward 100/120 Gb backbones, this breakout cassette provides a versatile, future-ready solution. Its compact footprint reduces cable clutter while maintaining straightforward access for installation, testing, and maintenance. By consolidating multiple fibers into a tidy, modular format, it enables rapid reconfiguration, simplifies fiber management, and supports a wide range of fiber types and transceiver technologies used in modern networking environments.
- High-density breakout design: Converts (x2) 24-fiber MTP/MPO inputs to (x6) 12-fiber OM4 MTP/MPO outputs, enabling efficient aggregation and distribution of multi-rate signals.
- Multi-rate compatibility: Specifically engineered to support 100 Gb/120 Gb backbone connections that can be split into multiple 40 Gb channels, reducing the need for additional cable runs and enabling flexible pathway planning.
- OM4 fiber optimization: Built for high-bandwidth, long-reach operation in modern data centers with OM4 multi-mode fiber to maximize throughput and minimize attenuation across the network.
- Enclosure-ready design: Designed for use with Tripp Lite N482-01U and N482-02U High Density Fiber Enclosure Panels, delivering configurability and scale within a compact chassis footprint.
- Reliable, easy integration: Features robust, pin-equipped MTP/MPO connectors for secure engagement, with a straightforward installation footprint that simplifies rack deployment and future upgrades.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Breakout Cassette
- Prepare the enclosure: Ensure the N482-01U or N482-02U chassis is properly mounted and powered down according to site procedures. Verify that the enclosure has available slots for the breakout cassette.
- Insert the cassette: Align the breakout cassette with the cassette slot in the High Density Fiber Enclosure Panel. Gently slide the module into position until it seats firmly and the latching mechanism engages.
- Secure the module: If applicable, fasten any mounting screws or latches to lock the cassette in place, ensuring there is no movement that could stress the fiber connectors.
- Connect trunk and fan-out cables: Attach the (x2) 24-fiber MTP/MPO trunk cables to the input connectors. Route the (x6) 12-fiber OM4 MTP/MPO output cables to their respective endpoints, maintaining clean, orderly cable management to minimize bend radius and crosstalk.
- Label and test: Label the inputs and outputs for easy future maintenance. Perform a continuity and insertion-loss test to verify proper alignment and signal integrity across all channels before bringing services online.
