Description
The Eaton Tripp Lite N48K-15M8L60-B is a high-density 50/125 multimode fiber breakout patch panel engineered to seamlessly connect 10G equipment with 40G networks or 25Gb gear with 100Gb systems. Designed with Base-8 OM4 wiring, it optimizes rack space, ensures 100% fiber utilization, and eliminates dead ports common in Base-12 configurations.
Housed in a 1U rackmount chassis, it features five preterminated breakout cassettes, each with 12 LC duplex ports and three built-in 2-meter MTP multimode cables, providing a total of 15 QSFP fiber switch ports and 60 LC ports. Hardwired cassette modules reduce insertion loss by up to 30%, while magenta color-coded OM4 cables simplify identification in dense installations. The fold-down front panel safeguards LC patch cords and includes writable space for port labeling and mapping.
Ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments, this breakout panel offers future-ready scalability up to 200Gb, RoHS compliance, and Eaton’s lifetime limited warranty for long-term reliability.
