VERTICAL CABLE 264-MCA0U12-2AAS2 – SC SINGLEMODE UPC MPO PRE-CONNECTORIZED LGX CASSETTE
The 264-MCA0U12-2AAS2 is a 12-fiber LGX Cassette that converts MPO/MTP trunk connectivity into individual SC duplex singlemode connections. Delivered as a fully pre-terminated and tested kit, this LGX Cassette pairs a Type-A MPO-12 rear interface with SC duplex front adapters optimized for singlemode UPC performance. Built to the standard LGX footprint, the 264-MCA0U12-2AAS2 simplifies high-density fiber deployments by eliminating field termination while maintaining low insertion loss and Telcordia GR-326-CORE compliance.
KEY FEATURES
Here’s what makes the 264-MCA0U12-2AAS2 an ideal LGX Cassette:
- 12-Fiber SC Duplex Front Interface: Breaks out a single 12-fiber MPO trunk into 6 SC duplex singlemode connections.
- Type-A MPO-12 Rear Adapter: Flanged Type-A polarity configuration for standard MPO trunk cable compatibility.
- 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 SC adapters rated for SM performance with 0.20 dB typical / 0.25 dB max insertion loss.
- Standard LGX Footprint: Fits standard LGX-compatible enclosures and mounting hardware.
- Complete Kit Includes: Base with cover, front bracket with installed adapters, matching wiring harness, rear cable-entry adapter plate, and 2 blank rear adapter plates.
- Zirconia Ceramic Sleeves: One-piece front adapter construction with split ceramic sleeves for durable, low-loss mating.
- Telcordia GR-326-CORE Compliant: Meets carrier-grade standards for fiber optic connector hardware.
APPLICATIONS
The 264-MCA0U12-2AAS2 LGX Cassette excels in high-density singlemode fiber deployments:
- Data Centers: Rapidly deploy pre-terminated SC singlemode connectivity from MPO backbone trunks, reducing installation time and testing errors.
- Telecommunications Rooms: Simplify MDF/IDF cross-connects by converting MPO trunks to individual SC duplex singlemode ports.
- Enterprise Fiber Networks: Support singlemode uplinks and long-haul backbone runs using legacy or current SC-terminated equipment.
- 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.
