VERTICAL CABLE 264-MCA0U12-3AAS1 – LC SINGLEMODE UPC MPO PRE-CONNECTORIZED LGX CASSETTE
The 264-MCA0U12-3AAS1 is a 12-fiber LGX Cassette that breaks out MPO/MTP trunk connectivity into individual LC duplex singlemode connections. Delivered fully pre-terminated and tested, this LGX Cassette pairs a Type-A MPO-12 rear interface with LC duplex front adapters optimized for singlemode UPC performance. Built to the standard LGX footprint, the 264-MCA0U12-3AAS1 works as an MPO-to-LC cassette that simplifies high-density fiber deployments by eliminating field termination while maintaining low insertion loss and carrier-grade compliance.
KEY FEATURES
Here’s what makes the 264-MCA0U12-3AAS1 an ideal LGX Cassette:
- 12-Fiber LC Duplex Front Interface: Breaks out a single 12-fiber MPO trunk into 6 LC duplex singlemode connections.
- Type-A MPO-12 Rear Adapter: Flanged Type-A polarity configuration for compatibility with standard MPO/MTP trunk cable.
- Standard Loss MPO-12 Pinned (SENKO): Reliable rear connectivity using industry-standard SENKO pinned MPO adapters.
- Fully Pre-Terminated and Tested: Ships ready to install, eliminating on-site fiber termination and testing.
- Singlemode UPC Optimized: Front LC adapters rated for SM performance with 0.13 dB typical / 0.20 dB max insertion loss.
- Standard LGX Footprint: Fits standard LGX-compatible enclosures and mounting hardware.
- Zirconia Ceramic Front Adapters: One-piece front adapter construction for durable, low-loss mating.
- Telcordia GR-326-CORE Compliant: Meets carrier-grade standards for singlemode fiber optic connector hardware.
APPLICATIONS
The 264-MCA0U12-3AAS1 LGX Cassette excels in high-density singlemode fiber deployments:
- Data Centers: Rapidly deploy pre-terminated LC singlemode connectivity from MPO backbone trunks, reducing installation time and testing errors.
- Telecommunications Rooms: Simplify MDF/IDF cross-connects with an MPO-to-LC cassette that converts trunk fiber into individual duplex ports.
- Enterprise Fiber Networks: Support singlemode uplinks and long-haul backbone runs requiring low insertion and return loss.
- Colocation Facilities: Standardize high-density, pre-tested fiber connectivity across multi-tenant deployments.
- Central Offices and Carrier Networks: Meet Telcordia GR-326-CORE requirements for carrier-grade singlemode connectivity.
WHY CHOOSE THE 264-MCA0U12-3AAS1 LGX CASSETTE?
Professionals choose the 264-MCA0U12-3AAS1 for its plug-and-play deployment, reliable singlemode performance, and standard LGX compatibility. Here are 5 reasons to specify it for your next project:
- Faster Deployment – Fully pre-terminated and tested construction eliminates field termination, significantly cutting installation time.
- Reliable Singlemode Performance – LC UPC front adapters deliver low, consistent insertion loss for long-haul and backbone applications.
- Instant Setup – Fully pre-terminated and tested out of the box, ready to connect.
- Standard LGX Compatibility – Fits existing LGX enclosures and mounting hardware without modification.
- Carrier-Grade Reliability – Telcordia GR-326-CORE and ANSI/TIA-568.3-D compliance support demanding enterprise and carrier applications.
GETTING IT INSTALLED?
Once you’ve specified the 264-MCA0U12-3AAS1 for your project:
- Match your trunk cable. Double-check that your MPO-12 trunk uses Type-A polarity and standard loss (SENKO pinned) connectors before it arrives on site.
- Line up your LC patch cables. Singlemode UPC LC duplex patch cords complete the front-side connections—worth having these ready before install day.
- Measure your enclosure depth. Make sure the target enclosure has enough rear depth space (8 in. enclosed / 6.5 in open) to fit the cassette comfortably.
- Connect, test, and label. Once it’s mounted and the MPO trunk is plugged in, run a quick insertion/return loss check and label all 6 LC positions so future troubleshooting is painless.
