High-density 40G-to-10G breakout panel

The Tripp Lite N48K-15M8L60-B is a 1U patch panel that converts 15 MTP QSFP ports into 60 LC duplex connections. It uses 50/125 OM4 multimode fibre to link 40G Ethernet switches with 10G equipment. The unit is built for data-centre racks where port density and cable management matter. It arrives new and RoHS compliant.

Base8 wiring and hardwired cassettes

Base8 wiring activates every LC port, eliminating the dead ports found in Base12 designs. Hardwired cassettes deliver a 30 percent improvement in insertion loss over modular alternatives. Magenta colour coding on the OM4 cables makes each run easy to trace during maintenance. Performance remains consistent across all 60 duplex channels under sustained traffic.

Verify switch transceiver compatibility

Confirm that your Ethernet switch uses multimode QSFP fibre transceivers before ordering. The panel requires 15 QSFP ports on the switch side and provides 60 LC duplex ports for 10G links. No other interface types are supported by this model. Ensure your rack has a free 1U space for mounting.

Questions about this item

Does the 1U panel generate any heat or noise when it runs continuously in a server rack?

The panel is a passive fiber breakout with no fans or active components, so it produces no heat or audible noise during continuous operation.

What existing equipment is required for the 15 MTP QSFP ports to function?

An Ethernet switch equipped with multimode QSFP fiber transceivers is required to connect to the 15 MTP ports on the panel.

Will the Base8 wiring work with older Base12 MTP cables that I already have in the rack?

Base8 wiring uses all 60 LC duplex ports without dead ports, whereas Base12 leaves four fibers unused per MTP connector, so the two wiring schemes are not directly compatible.
