Tripp Lite N482-04U

Overview

The Tripp Lite N482-04U is a high-density fiber enclosure designed to maximize fiber connectivity within a compact 4U rack space. It accommodates up to 28 N482-series fiber cassettes, providing a total of 336 duplex LC ports or 672 individual fiber connections. This enclosure is built to support both singlemode and multimode fiber links, making it suitable for high-speed networks including 10 GbE, 40 GbE, and 100/120 GbE backbones.

Constructed with a rigid steel frame, the enclosure fits into any standard 19-inch EIA rack and features a fold-down front door that allows quick access to all cassettes while protecting connectors from dust and physical damage. An optional rear cable management bracket helps maintain orderly patch cord routing and ensures proper bend radius compliance, reducing the risk of fiber damage.

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.
