The Eaton Tripplite N484-3M8-LC12 is an optical fiber breakout cassette designed for data center and enterprise network environments. This component facilitates the transition from higher-density MTP/MPO cabling to standard LC duplex connections, enabling 40Gb or 100Gb network equipment to interface with 10Gb devices. Specifically, it converts three 8-fiber OM4 MTP/MPO (APC) inputs into twelve LC (UPC) duplex outputs. This cassette is suitable for IT professionals and network architects managing infrastructure upgrades or reconfigurations, particularly when integrating existing 10Gb hardware with newer 40Gb or 100Gb backbone links. It addresses the challenge of connecting different fiber connector types and speeds within a structured cabling system, optimizing fiber utilization and simplifying network deployment.
The cassette supports three 8-fiber MTP/MPO (APC) inputs and provides twelve LC (UPC) duplex outputs.
It is designed to facilitate connections from 40Gb or 100Gb networks down to 10Gb devices.
This cassette is used to break out higher-speed MTP/MPO connections into multiple lower-speed LC duplex connections, suitable for integrating different generations of network equipment.
The cassette is specified for OM4 multi-mode fiber, indicated by the 'OM4 MTP/MPO' in the product title.
