Tripp Lite Preloaded Fiber Patch Panel, 3U, 24x (12F MTP/MPO-APC to 4x LC Duplex F/F) 8F Trunk Cables, OS2 Singlemode, 10 m (32.8 ft.)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N48S-24M8L4-10 is a 3U fiber patch panel designed to optimize fiber optic cable management in data centers and network environments. It features 24 preloaded MTP/MPO-APC to LC Duplex OS2 singlemode cables, each 10 meters long, neatly coiled inside a durable aluminum chassis. This design allows you to pull only the cable length you need while keeping the rest stored, reducing clutter and improving airflow within your rack. The panel fits into a standard 19-inch EIA rack and provides access to 96 LC Duplex ports through a fold-down front panel, making it easier to organize and manage high-speed network connections.
