Eaton Tripp Lite Series N482TAP-4SM73LC Singlemode Fiber Optic TAP Cassette - 70/30 Split for Network Monitoring

Eaton Tripp Lite Series Fiber TAP Cassette - Singlemode, 4x Duplex LC, 70/30 Split

The Eaton Tripp Lite N482TAP-4SM73LC is a high-performance singlemode fiber optic TAP cassette designed to facilitate real-time network monitoring and data analysis. This passive device seamlessly integrates into your existing fiber infrastructure, providing a reliable solution to monitor traffic without introducing latency or compromising network integrity. Its sophisticated optical splitter divides the signal into two outputs, with a 70/30 split ratio that ensures 30 percent of the light is directed to monitoring equipment while maintaining the primary data flow at 70 percent. This setup enables network administrators to analyze performance metrics, detect security threats, and optimize traffic flow effectively. The design supports 40/100 Gb speeds and is compatible with Tripp Lite’s modular enclosures, including N482-00U, N482-01U, N482-02U, and N482-04U, allowing for flexible deployment across various network sizes and configurations. The cassette’s factory-terminated LC ports are duplex-rated, making cable connections quick and straightforward, with dust caps included to protect unused ports. Constructed from durable plastic and rated OM4 for high-quality performance, this TAP cassette features a maximum insertion loss of 0.20 dB, well within IEEE standards, ensuring minimal impact on network performance. The device complies with IEEE 802.3ae (10 Gb) and ANSI T11.2 (Fibre Channel) standards, making it suitable for data centers, telecom carriers, and research facilities. Its environmentally friendly design adheres to REACH compliance, and it is manufactured in China under Eaton Corporation. With a lifetime warranty, the N482TAP-4SM73LC provides a reliable, scalable, and easy-to-install solution for network monitoring needs, supporting parallel optics and Base-8 connectivity for advanced fiber applications. This fiber TAP cassette is essential for network administrators aiming to enhance security, troubleshoot performance issues, and optimize traffic management in high-speed fiber networks.
