Fiber Optic Cassettes offer a wide array of deployment
options to support both Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks. Cassette
types are available with 1 MPO to 6 duplex LC connectors, (6-port)
1 MPO, 2 MPO, and 3 MPO to 12 duplex LC connectors (12-port),
1 MPO to 4 duplex LC connectors for breaking out parallel optics
applications (4-port), and 6-port duplex LC cassettes for splice
terminations. 6-port MPO and duplex LC fiber adapter panels (FAP) are
also available. All LC connectors contain integral shutters to help
prevent contamination.
