DESCRIPTION
The Ultra-Thin 12-Fiber MPO/MTP Cassette is a compact and scalable fiber termination solution designed for high-density network applications. This cassette routes a 12-fiber MPO/MTP rear port to 6 LC duplex ports at the front, delivering efficient LC-to-MPO breakout performance. Built with a space-saving profile, this cassette is tailor-made for rack-mount panels from 1U to 4U, supporting growing network demands while reducing physical footprint. With its tool-free mounting system and integrated fiber management, it provides a clean and reliable interconnection between backbone trunk cables and LC patch cords.
Feature Details
- Elastic Snap-Fit Handle: Allows easy insertion/removal in tight spaces
- Internal Fiber Protection: Maintains minimum bend radius to prevent loss
- High-Density Design: Supports ultra high-density deployment (e.g., up to 144 fibers per 1U chassis depending on enclosure design)
- Scalable Modular Format: Enables upgrades without downtime
