Tripp Lite Enclosure for 14 High-Density Fiber Cassettes, 2U

The Tripp Lite N482-02U is a 2U enclosure built for network professionals who need to concentrate a large number of fiber connections in a minimal amount of rack space. Designed for a standard 19-inch rack, it accepts up to fourteen high-density fiber cassettes, which means you can bring as many as 168 Duplex LC ports—or 336 individual fiber connections—into a single, tidy location.

This capacity makes the enclosure a natural fit for data centers, colocation facilities, enterprise wiring closets, and telecom rooms that are migrating to 10 Gb, 40 Gb, or 100 / 120 Gb links. By consolidating fiber runs inside one 2U housing, you free valuable rack units for servers, switches, or power equipment while still leaving room to grow.

Daily operation is straightforward. A fold-down front door shields sensitive connectors yet opens wide for quick patching. If you prefer an unobstructed workspace, the door lifts off entirely. Each cassette slides in or out with push/pull tabs, so installations, swaps, or upgrades happen without tools and without disrupting adjacent links.

To keep cabling under control, an optional bracket mounts at the rear of the enclosure. It routes trunks and jumpers along a defined path, helping maintain airflow and making future tracing or troubleshooting easier.

The housing relies on construction that uses durable steel, giving you the strength and stability expected in a busy rack environment. Whether you manage an expanding campus backbone or a rapidly scaling cloud deployment, the N482-02U offers a flexible foundation that can adapt as bandwidth requirements rise.
