VERTICAL CABLE 264-MCS0412-3A90 – LC MULTIMODE OM4 SPLICING LGX CASSETTE
The 264-MCS0412-3A90 is a 12-fiber LC multimode LGX Splicing Cassette built to terminate fiber directly through fusion splicing. Functioning as a self-contained splice cassette, it ships as a complete kit with matching OM4 pigtails, splice holders, and protection sleeves, so there’s no need to source components separately. Built to the standard LGX footprint with a rear M12/PG7 cable gland entry, this LGX Splicing Cassette gives installers a clean, field-terminated solution for high-performance OM4 multimode fiber networks.
KEY FEATURES
Here’s what makes the 264-MCS0412-3A90 an ideal LGX Splicing Cassette:
- 12-Fiber LC Multimode OM4 Configuration: Supports 12 fusion-spliced fibers terminated to LC connectors, providing a compact connectivity solution for high-performance OM4 multimode networks.
- Complete Splicing Kit: Includes ANSI/TIA-598 color-coded 900 µm pigtails matching the connector type and 12-fiber count — providing the essential splice-management components in one enclosure.
- Splice Holders and Protection Sleeves: Ships with splice holders matched to the fiber count and 265-SLV01-3A splice protection sleeves.
- Rear M12/PG7 Cable Gland Entry: Accepts incoming cable with an OD of 0.08–0.25 in (2–6.5 mm) for direct splicing within the cassette.
- Standard LGX Footprint: Fits standard LGX-compatible enclosures and mounting hardware, allowing the cassette to integrate into modular fiber distribution systems.
- Low Insertion Loss: SC/LC interfaces are rated at 0.3 dB or lower when used with standard-compliant plugs, supporting reliable optical performance.
- Zirconia Ceramic Sleeves: One-piece front adapter construction uses split zirconia ceramic sleeves for precise fiber alignment and dependable optical connections.
- Additional Kit Hardware: Includes a base cover, front bracket with installed adapters, rear cable gland adapter plate, and two blank rear adapter plates.
- Telcordia GR-326-CORE Compatible: Designed for dependable connector performance and compatibility with established fiber connectivity requirements.
APPLICATIONS
The 264-MCS0412-3A90 LGX Splicing Cassette excels in field-terminated multimode fiber installations:
- Data Centers: Terminate OM4 multimode fiber for high-speed equipment, distribution, and backbone connections where field splicing is preferred over pre-connectorized assemblies.
- High-Speed Multimode Networks: Support OM4 infrastructure designed for higher-bandwidth, short-reach optical connections.
- Telecommunications Rooms: Provide a clean, standardized splice-cassette termination point within MDFs, IDFs, and other fiber distribution locations.
- Enterprise Fiber Networks: Provide field-spliced OM4 connectivity for high-bandwidth enterprise network infrastructure.
- Campus and Building Backbones: Create organized LC termination points for OM4 multimode backbone fiber between network spaces and equipment locations.
WHY CHOOSE THE 264-MCS0412-3A90 LGX CASSETTE?
Professionals choose the 264-MCS0412-3A90 for its all-in-one splicing kit, reliable multimode performance, and universal LGX fit. Here are 5 reasons to specify it for your next project:
- Complete Splicing Solution – Ships with matching 900 µm pigtails, splice holders, and protection sleeves, eliminating the need to source these components separately.
- High-Performance OM4 Connectivity – OM4 multimode fiber is designed for high-bandwidth, short-reach optical networks, making this cassette well suited for modern data center and enterprise fiber infrastructure.
- Direct Fusion-Splice Termination – Rear cable gland entry accommodates cable diameters from 0.08–0.25 in (2–6.5 mm), allowing incoming fiber to be routed directly into the cassette for splicing.
- Standard LGX Compatibility – Fits standard LGX mounting hardware and enclosures for easy integration into modular fiber distribution systems.
- Reliable Fiber Connectivity – Built around established connector and cabling standards, including Telcordia GR-326-CORE compatibility and ANSI/TIA-568.3-D.
GETTING IT INSTALLED
Once you’ve specified the 264-MCS0412-3A90 for your project:
- Confirm the fiber type. Make sure the incoming multimode fiber and associated connectivity are appropriate for the OM4 network design.
- Check your cable against the gland. Confirm the incoming fiber cable’s outer diameter falls between 0.08–0.25 in (2–6.5 mm) so it can be properly accommodated by the M12/PG7 cable gland.
- Prepare your splicing equipment. Fusion splicing requires appropriate fiber preparation tools, a fusion splicer, and technicians trained to perform and verify the splices.
- Plan the fiber routing. Determine how the incoming fibers, splice holders, and pigtails will be routed inside the cassette while maintaining appropriate fiber bend radius and organization.
- Splice, test, then label. After completing the fusion splices, test the finished connections and clearly label all 12 LC positions to simplify documentation, maintenance, and future troubleshooting.
