Tripp Lite N484-3M8L12S

Overview

The Tripp Lite N484-3M8L12S is a singlemode fiber breakout cassette designed to simplify high-speed network connections in data centers and enterprise environments. It converts three 8-fiber MTP/MPO APC inputs into twelve duplex LC UPC outputs, enabling seamless breakout from 40 Gb or 100 Gb backbone links to 10 Gb or 25 Gb devices. This cassette supports parallel optics and Base 8 standards, making it ideal for QSFP fabric switches and facilitating efficient connectivity to servers, storage arrays, or aggregation switches.

Engineered for quick installation, it fits into compatible Tripp Lite N484-01U or N484-00U chassis without tools, allowing technicians to complete setups rapidly. Factory-terminated and tested singlemode fibers ensure reliable performance with low insertion loss, while dust caps protect unused ports to maintain signal integrity over long distances.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

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.
