Tripp Lite 40/100Gb Singlemode Fiber Breakout Cassette, 40Gb to 4 x 10Gb, 100Gb to 4 x 25Gb, (x3) 8-Fiber MTP/MPO (APC) to (x12) LC (UPC) Duplex 9/125, N484 Chassis

The Tripp Lite N484-3M8L12S is a singlemode fiber breakout cassette designed for high-density patch panels in data centers and enterprise networks. It converts three 8-fiber MTP or MPO APC ports into twelve duplex LC UPC connections, giving you a straightforward way to link 40 Gb or 100 Gb backbone links to 10 Gb or 25 Gb devices without adding extra hardware.

When paired with a Tripp Lite N484-01U or N484-00U chassis, the cassette snaps into place without tools, so a technician can complete an installation in minutes. The layout follows Base 8 standards and supports parallel optics, making it a natural fit for QSFP fabric switches that need to break out to LC-based servers, storage arrays, or aggregation switches.

The module arrives factory terminated and tested, so you can rely on consistent performance right away. Singlemode fibers, low 0.35 dB insertion loss, and protective dust caps help maintain clean, reliable links over long runs. If rack requirements change, the modular format lets you add or replace cassettes without reworking the entire panel.

Network managers in colocation facilities, cloud environments, campus cores, or any site moving toward higher bandwidth will appreciate the flexibility this cassette provides. When paired with recommended N370 or N390 series trunks and patch cords, it delivers a clear upgrade path that can grow from 10 Gb today to 100 Gb tomorrow. The unit is backed by a lifetime limited warranty for added peace of mind.
