WHAT’S NEXT?
Once you’ve specified the 265-CAS10 Series for your project:
- Select Capacity – Choose 6, 8, or 12-cartridge cassettes based on fiber count requirements; stack cartridges to double capacity.
- Order Pigtails Separately – Select appropriate fiber pigtails (SC, LC, FC, or ST) to match your adapter plates and connectors.
- Plan Enclosure Layout – Verify cassette dimensions fit your chosen fiber enclosure before installation.
- Prepare Heat Gun – Ensure heat gun is available and set to correct temperature for shrinking splice protection sleeves.
