Tripp Lite 100Gb/120Gb to 40Gb Breakout Cassette, (x2) 24-Fiber MTP/MPO (Male with Pins) to (x6) 12-Fiber MTP/MPO (Male with Pins)

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.
