Breakout cassette for 40 GbE to 10 GbE

This fibre optic cassette converts three 8-fibre OM4 MTP/MPO connections into twelve LC duplex ports, enabling 40 GbE links to break out into four 10 GbE channels. It is designed for network engineers upgrading QSFP fabric switches or expanding high-density patching in data-centre racks.

OM4 MTP/MPO to LC duplex mapping

The cassette uses Type B key-up to key-up MTP/MPO adapters and factory-terminated OM4 connectors with a maximum insertion loss of 0.35 dB, compliant with IEEE 802.3ae and ANSI T11.2 requirements. Buyers who need single-mode fibre or a different polarity mapping cannot use this unit.

Tool-free installation in compatible enclosures

The module slides into Tripp Lite N484-01U 1U panels or N484-00U 0U chassis without tools, and up to four cassettes fit in a 1U enclosure. Installers who lack these specific enclosures or who require angled LC ports will find the cassette incompatible.

Questions about this item

What does the 40 GbE internal rating mean when this cassette is installed in a rack?

It indicates the cassette supports 40 GbE links using OM4 fiber inside the enclosure, breaking out to twelve LC duplex connections for 10 GbE device ports.

What does the MTP/MPO interface cap in this cassette?

Three 8-fiber OM4 MTP/MPO ports feed the cassette, each carrying four 10 GbE lanes that map to four LC duplex outputs per MTP/MPO.

Which enclosure panels does this cassette physically fit?

It mounts in Tripp Lite N484-01U 1U panels (up to four cassettes) and N484-00U 0U chassis with tool-free installation.
