Description
The Eaton N48LSM-16X16 Spine-Leaf MPO Panel is a high-performance 1U rackmount fiber solution designed for data centers utilizing spine-and-leaf network architecture. It eliminates the need for traditional MTP/MPO-to-LC cross-connects, reducing rack clutter and simplifying cabling infrastructure. Featuring 32 Elite MTP/MPO-PC male ports—16 spine ports on the front and 16 leaf ports on the rear—this all-in-one solution delivers high-bandwidth, low-latency connections for modern data networks.
Built from durable aluminum, the N48LSM-16X16 provides efficient cable management on both front and rear ends, ensuring clean, organized installations in EIA-standard 19-inch racks. Supporting OM4 multimode fiber, it accommodates speeds of 40G, 100G, and up to 400G, making it ideal for scalable, high-density environments.
With RoHS, CE, and REACH compliance, and backed by a lifetime limited warranty, Eaton’s N48LSM-16X16 delivers reliability, efficiency, and superior performance for mission-critical networking applications.
