LC 24 Fiber Cassettes

 

The LC Cassette Module is a compact, high-density fiber optic solution to conserve bay and enclosure space. The LC to MTP ®/ MPO connector transition is protected in a metal case that gives good fiber protection and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The cassette can also be easily swapped during a maintenance cycle.

 

The LC connector is half the size of the SC connector, which is significant when space is an issue.

 

The MTP ®/ MPO is a multi-fiber optic connector, which accepts a 12-fiber ribbon cable. The MTP ®/ MPO ferrule is most commonly angled for SM applications and flat for MM applications. The angled MTP ®/ MPO connector gives a back reflection of –60dB or more. The MTP ®/ MPO connector is either male or female. The male has two alignment pins protruding from the end of the ferrule.

 

The cassette is a metal case measuring 11.5cm x 9.5cm x 3cm. (4.5in. x 3.75in. x 1.25in.) The distance between the mid point of holes for the grommets and plungers is 13.7cm (5 3/8in.). The dimensions for the LC port plate are 3.5cm x15cm (1 3/8in.x 6in.)

 

The cable assemblies are manufactured using 12-fiber ribbon cable, a flat cable resembling a ribbon, where the 12 fibers are situated side by side.

 

Pictured below is a MTP ®/ MPO to LC 24 fiber 50/125um Ribbon Cable Cassette. We also manufacture 62.5/125um and 9/125um SC-MTP ®/ MPO ribbon cable assemblies for the cassette.
