Tripp Lite N48S-4M3X8M-10

Overview

The Tripp Lite N48S-4M3X8M-10 is a preloaded fiber panel designed to provide high-density singlemode connectivity within a standard 1U, 19-inch rack enclosure. It comes equipped with four MTP/MPO-APC trunk cables, each containing 24 OS2 singlemode fibers and measuring 10 meters in length. This setup simplifies installation by allowing technicians to route only the necessary cable length while safely storing the excess slack inside the aluminum chassis, maintaining a clean and organized rack environment.

This fiber panel is well suited for enterprise data centers, telecom rooms, and colocation cages upgrading to 40, 100, or 400 gigabit network speeds. Its use of industry-standard connectors and singlemode fiber supports long-distance connections between core switches, storage arrays, and spine-leaf architectures without additional splice or cassette loss. The design also allows for easy cable management and future network changes without the need for new cabling.

Connectivity and compatibility

This fiber panel integrates seamlessly with existing network infrastructure using MTP/MPO-APC connectors, which are widely adopted for high-speed data transmission. The OS2 singlemode fiber supports long-distance links, making it ideal for connecting core switches, storage systems, and spine-leaf network topologies. Its compatibility with standard 19-inch racks ensures it fits into most enterprise and telecom environments without requiring special mounting hardware.

• Industry-standard MTP/MPO-APC connectors for reliable, low-loss connections
• OS2 singlemode fiber suitable for long-distance data transmission
• Fits standard 19-inch racks, compatible with most data center and telecom setups

Installation and setup

The preloaded design of this fiber panel significantly reduces installation time by eliminating the need to terminate and label cables on-site. Technicians can simply slide the panel into the rack, route the required cable length to the switch or patch field, and coil the remaining slack inside the enclosure. This approach minimizes clutter and preserves airflow, which is critical for maintaining optimal equipment temperatures. The clear labeling on both the panel and cables further streamlines future moves, adds, and changes.

Ideal uses and environments

This fiber panel is a strong choice for enterprise data centers, telecom rooms, and colocation facilities that require high-density, long-distance singlemode fiber connections. It supports the bandwidth demands of modern 40 Gbps, 100 Gbps, and 400 Gbps networks, making it suitable for environments upgrading to faster network speeds. Its compact 1U form factor and organized cable management also make it a practical option for spaces where rack space and airflow are priorities.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
