Eaton Tripp Lite Series Sleeve Holds 1 High-Density Copper/Fiber Cassette, 0U
The Eaton Tripp Lite Series Sleeve is the ultimate space-saving mounting solution for high-density connectivity. Designed as a compact, 0U chassis, it lets you mount a single High Density Copper / Fiber Cassette directly onto the metal surface of any rack enclosure, cable manager, or similar structure using built-in magnets. This clever, rails-free approach frees valuable rack space while keeping critical connections easily accessible and neatly organized. Ideal for data centers, network closets, or busy server rooms, the sleeve delivers a flexible, scalable way to consolidate copper and fiber transitions without adding bulk or complexity to your rack layout.
- The 0U footprint maximizes rack efficiency. This sleeve occupies no vertical rack space, so you can install the cassette where it makes the most sense for your cabling design. By eliminating rails and extra hardware, you gain immediate airflow advantages and a cleaner, less congested front-to-back cable path. The magnet-based attachment allows rapid repositioning as topology evolves, ensuring your infrastructure stays agile without downtime or heavy disassembly.
- Supports a single High Density Copper / Fiber Cassette for streamlined connectivity. The design focuses on mounting one cassette in a dedicated, easily accessible spot, enabling a tidy blend of copper and fiber solutions in one convenient location. Whether you’re patching copper-to-copper, fiber-to-fiber, or performing copper-to-fiber transitions, this sleeve provides a stable hold that reduces movement, wear, and connector stress over time.
- Magnet-based mounting for rapid, tool-free installation. The built‑in magnets securely attach the sleeve to compatible metal surfaces, including rack sides, cable manager walls, or cabinet interiors. This approach minimizes installation time, lowers the need for tools, and makes reconfiguration straightforward during expansion projects, maintenance windows, or topology refreshes.
- Improved accessibility and airflow for cooler operation. Placing the High Density Cassette in a readily reachable location helps technicians perform routine maintenance, firmware updates, or connectivity changes without crawling behind equipment. The 0U design also reduces protrusions that could impede airflow, contributing to better cooling, lower fan noise, and a more efficient data center layout.
- Versatility across environments ensures future-proofing. The sleeve is suitable for data centers, enterprise server rooms, network closets, and industrial settings where space is at a premium. Its modular approach supports evolving bandwidth needs, new media types, and incremental upgrades without requiring a full rack overhaul. This flexibility helps protect your initial investment as technology standards shift.

How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series Sleeve Holds 1 High-Density Copper/Fiber Cassette, 0U
- Choose a clean, flat metal surface inside or adjacent to your rack enclosure or cable management system that can support magnetic mounting.
- Confirm there is sufficient clearance for the High Density Copper / Fiber Cassette once installed, including space for cable routing, bends, and any protective strain relief you plan to apply.
- Remove any dust or debris from the mounting surface to ensure optimal magnet adhesion and long-term stability.
- Align the sleeve’s magnets with the selected metal surface and press firmly until the magnets are fully engaged. Gently tug to verify a secure attachment.
- Insert the High Density Copper / Fiber Cassette into the sleeve according to its own installation instructions, ensuring connectors are oriented for convenient access and minimal reach.
- Route copper and fiber cables through the sleeve and toward their respective terminations, keeping paths tidy, avoiding sharp bends, and maintaining recommended bend radii.
- Confirm that cables are properly managed and do not crowd or press against the cassette or magnets, which could impact performance or airflow.
- Power up or perform connectivity tests as required to verify that the cassette and its media are functioning correctly within the new layout.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: What exactly is the sleeve designed to hold? A: It is designed to hold a single High Density Copper / Fiber Cassette, providing a compact, magnetic mounting solution for mixed-media terminations.
- Q: How is the sleeve mounted? A: The sleeve uses integrated magnets to attach directly to compatible metal surfaces such as rack sides, cabinet interiors, or cable management panels, eliminating the need for rails or additional hardware.
- Q: Does this sleeve only work with specific cassette types? A: The sleeve is intended for High Density Copper / Fiber Cassette modules and is best paired with compatible HD cassette configurations from the same series or manufacturer specifications.
- Q: Will this affect cooling or airflow in my rack? A: The 0U footprint and rail-less design minimize obstruction, promoting better airflow around the mounted cassette and reducing hotspots in dense deployments.
- Q: Can I reposition or remove the sleeve easily? A: Yes. The magnet-based mounting allows quick repositioning or removal without tools, enabling easy reconfiguration during upgrades or maintenance.
