DESCRIPTION
The 12 or 24 Fibers MPO/MTP to LC Cassette is a high-density, pre-terminated solution for fast and efficient fiber connectivity. Designed to simplify network upgrades, these cassettes feature MPO/MTP connectors on the rear that break out into LC connections on the front, making them ideal for 40G and 100G applications. They are customizable, factory-tested, and compliant with various fiber types (OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, and OS2).
Feature Details
- Customizable and Standardized Design:The cassettes come in standard LGX footprint styles or can be custom-built to meet specific configuration needs.
- High-Density MPO/MTP Connectivity:Equipped with 12-fiber or 24-fiber MPO/MTP connectors, the cassette ensures efficient use of space while maintaining low insertion loss.
- Plug-and-Play Efficiency:Pre-terminated and pre-tested for quick installation, eliminating the need for splicing or field terminations.
- Future-Ready Migration:Supports seamless transitions to 40GbE and 100GbE networks using modular MPO/MTP connectivity.
- Swivel Adapter for Cable Management:The swivel MPO/MTP adapter design ensures proper routing and maintains the bend radius for reliable performance.
- Quality Assurance:Every cassette is 100% factory-tested, with results included to guarantee high-quality performance.
