Tripp Lite N484-2M24-6M12

Overview

The Tripp Lite N484-2M24-6M12 is a breakout cassette designed to streamline high-speed fiber optic connections by converting two 24-fiber MTP/MPO male connectors into six 12-fiber MTP/MPO male connectors. It supports 100Gb and 120Gb Ethernet applications over OM4 fiber optic cable, maintaining a low insertion loss of 0.35dB to ensure consistent signal quality. This cassette integrates smoothly with Tripp Lite’s N484-00U and N484-01U chassis, making it a practical solution for managing parallel optics and Base-8 connectivity in data centers and enterprise networks.

Connectivity and compatibility

This breakout cassette is designed to work with parallel optics systems that use Base-8 polarity, making it suitable for high-density fiber environments. It connects two 24-fiber MTP/MPO male connectors to six 12-fiber MTP/MPO male connectors, allowing for flexible and organized fiber routing. Its compatibility with Tripp Lite’s N484-00U and N484-01U chassis ensures it fits well into existing rack setups without requiring additional adapters or modifications.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward thanks to the cassette’s screw tabs, which allow for tool-free mounting in compatible chassis. The factory-terminated connectors reduce the time and effort needed for setup, minimizing potential errors during installation. This design helps network technicians quickly deploy or upgrade fiber infrastructure while maintaining neat and accessible cable management.

Ideal uses and environments

This breakout cassette is well suited to data centers and enterprise networks that require efficient fiber management between intermediate distribution frames and main distribution frames. It supports high-speed Ethernet applications, making it a strong choice for environments where bandwidth and signal integrity are critical. Network administrators looking to simplify parallel optics cabling and maintain organized fiber runs will find this cassette particularly useful.

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.
