High-density cassette for N484 chassis

The N484-12LC is a 10GbE pass-through cassette that holds twelve LC duplex connections in a black cold-rolled steel housing. It is built for the N484-00U and N484-01U enclosures, accepting one cassette in the 00U and up to four in the 01U. Factory-terminated connectors eliminate field termination work and screw tabs lock the unit in place without tools.

Twelve LC duplex ports at 10GbE

Each of the twelve LC duplex ports is rated for 10GbE and meets IEEE 802.3ae and ANSI T11.2 requirements. Maximum insertion loss is 0.35db, which sits well below the 25db channel loss limit. Female-to-female gender provides straight-through patching for compatible N820- and N821-series cables.

Stable loss within rated temperature range

Operating temperature spans -20 to 50 Celsius and the cassette maintains its insertion loss specification across that range. The 1.0mm steel housing protects the internal fiber alignment from rack vibration and handling stress. RoHS and REACH compliance confirm material suitability for continuous deployment.

Questions about this item

What does the 10GbE rating mean when this cassette is installed in a rack?

Each of the 12 LC duplex ports supports 10GbE throughput, compliant with IEEE 802.3ae, so the cassette passes full 10GbE traffic without adding more than 0.35dB insertion loss per connection.

Which standards govern the LC duplex interfaces on this cassette?

The 12 LC duplex ports follow IEEE 802.3ae for 10GbE and ANSI T11.2 for Fibre Channel, capping channel loss at 25dB while each port adds only 0.35dB.

What chassis does this cassette mount in and how many fit?

It slides into the N484-00U (one cassette) or N484-01U (up to four cassettes) and locks with screw tabs, no tools required.
