WHY CHOOSE THE 265-CAS10 SERIES – FIBER ARRAY SPLICE CASSETTES?

Professionals choose the 265-CAS10 Series because it delivers high-density splice management with quality construction and complete kit convenience. Here are 5 reasons to specify it for your next project:

1. High-Density Capacity – Stackable cartridge design supports up to 144 fibers (model 265-CAS10-F12A2) for space-efficient splice management.
2. Complete Kit – Delivered assembled with all sleeves and mounting hardware included—just add pigtails and start splicing.
3. Quality Construction – Aluminum alloy body with black powder coating provides durability and professional appearance.
4. Universal Compatibility – Works with Vertical Cable’s full range of fiber enclosures (267-RES, 267-REB, 268-STD, 268-EZX, 268-EZV).
5. Telcordia Compliant – Meets GR-771-CORE standards for verified performance in telecommunications applications.

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.
