VERTICAL CABLE 264-MCS0412-2A90 – SC MULTIMODE OM4 SPLICING LGX CASSETTE
The 264-MCS0412-2A90 is a 12-fiber SC multimode LGX Splicing Cassette built to terminate outside-plant, backbone, or horizontal 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, eliminating the need to source these 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 using the widely deployed SC connector interface.
KEY FEATURES
Here’s what makes the 264-MCS0412-2A90 an ideal LGX Splicing Cassette:
- 12-Fiber SC Multimode Configuration: Supports 12 fusion-spliced OM4 multimode fibers terminated to SC connectors for high-performance multimode network applications.
- OM4 Multimode Performance: Designed for laser-optimized 50/125 µm OM4 fiber, providing higher modal bandwidth and greater high-speed transmission reach than OM3 in supported applications.
- Complete Splicing Kit: Includes ANSI/TIA-598 color-coded 900 µm OM4 pigtails matching the connector type and fiber count — a complete fiber splice tray solution 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 fusion-splice termination.
- Standard LGX Footprint: Fits standard LGX-compatible enclosures and mounting hardware, allowing the cassette to function as a modular termination and splicing component within larger fiber distribution systems.
- Low-Loss SC Connectivity: Precision SC interfaces provide reliable optical mating for high-speed multimode fiber applications.
- Zirconia Ceramic Sleeves: Front adapters use split zirconia ceramic alignment sleeves to maintain accurate fiber alignment and consistent optical performance.
- Additional Kit Hardware: Includes base cover, front bracket with installed SC adapters, rear cable gland adapter plate, and 2 blank rear adapter plates.
- High-Speed Network Ready: OM4 fiber is well suited for high-bandwidth Ethernet and Fiber Channel applications in data centers, enterprise networks, and other short- to medium-reach multimode environments.
APPLICATIONS
The 264-MCS0412-2A90 LGX Splicing Cassette excels in field-terminated, high-bandwidth OM4 multimode fiber installations:
- Data Centers: Terminate OM4 backbone and distribution fiber supporting high-speed Ethernet, storage, and server connectivity.
- Enterprise Networks: Provide field-spliced SC connectivity for high-bandwidth multimode backbone links between telecommunications rooms, equipment rooms, and other network spaces.
- Telecommunications Rooms: Create a clean, standardized splice-cassette termination point within MDFs and IDFs.
- Campus Networks: Terminate OM4 multimode backbone runs between buildings or network spaces where multimode transmission distances are appropriate.
- Outside Plant (OSP) Terminations: Fusion splice compatible incoming OSP multimode fiber directly to SC pigtails without requiring a separate splice tray.
- High-Speed Ethernet Networks: OM4 fiber can support applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet over extended multimode distances and higher-speed 40G/100G links over application-dependent distances when used with compatible optics and equipment.
WHY CHOOSE THE 264-MCS0412-2A90 LGX CASSETTE?
Professionals choose the 264-MCS0412-2A90 for its complete splicing kit, high-performance OM4 fiber support, SC connectivity, and standard LGX fit. Here are 5 reasons to specify it for your next project:
- Complete Splicing Solution – Ships with matching OM4 pigtails, splice holders, and protection sleeves, eliminating separate component sourcing.
- High-Performance OM4 Fiber – Laser-optimized 50/125 µm multimode fiber provides increased bandwidth and improved high-speed transmission reach compared with OM3.
- Reliable SC Connectivity – The push-pull SC connector format provides a durable, straightforward interface widely used throughout enterprise, telecommunications, and fiber distribution networks.
- Direct Fiber Termination – Rear cable gland entry accommodates a range of cable diameters for direct fusion splicing inside the cassette.
- Standard LGX Compatibility – Fits compatible LGX enclosures and mounting hardware, making it easy to integrate into new or existing fiber distribution systems.
GETTING IT INSTALLED
Once you’ve specified the 264-MCS0412-2A90 for your project:
- Check your cable against the gland. Before installation, confirm the incoming fiber cable’s outer diameter falls between 0.08–0.25 in (2–6.5 mm) so it seats properly in the M12/PG7 gland.
- Verify the fiber type. Confirm that the incoming multimode cable is OM4 50/125 µm fiber and that the associated patch cords, pigtails, and optical equipment are appropriate for the planned network application.
- Line up your splicing crew and gear. Fusion splicing requires the appropriate fusion splicer, fiber preparation tools, cleaning supplies, test equipment, and a trained technician.
- Map the fiber routing first. Plan how each fiber will route through the cassette before beginning the splice process. Proper routing helps protect the fibers and maintain appropriate bend radius.
- Splice, test, then label. After completing the fusion splices, test each fiber for optical performance and label all 12 SC positions to simplify commissioning, maintenance, and future troubleshooting.
