Description
The Eaton Tripp Lite N482TAP-4MM73M8 is a high-performance OM4 multimode fiber TAP (Traffic Access Point) cassette designed for real-time network monitoring and analysis. Its 70/30 optical split enables 70% of the light signal to continue through the primary link while directing 30% to a monitoring device, providing passive, latency-free access to data traffic. Ideal for data centers, telecom environments, and R&D facilities, it supports 40/100/400Gbps parallel optics for uncompromised network visibility.
Engineered for use with Eaton’s N482-Series chassis, the modular cassette features 8-fiber MPO/MTP connectors for quick deployment and easy integration with Base-8 cabling systems. Factory-terminated and OM4-rated, it ensures low insertion loss and full compliance with IEEE 802.3ae and ANSI T11.2 standards, offering reliability, durability, and precision for advanced optical network monitoring applications.
