VERTICAL CABLE 264-MCS0312-2A90 – SC MULTIMODE OM3 SPLICING LGX CASSETTE
The 264-MCS0312-2A90 is a 12-fiber SC multimode OM3 LGX Splicing Cassette built to terminate multimode fiber directly through fusion splicing. Functioning as a self-contained splice cassette, it ships as a complete kit with matching OM3 pigtails, splice holders, and protection sleeves, so there’s no need to source 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-speed OM3 multimode fiber networks using SC connectivity.
KEY FEATURES

- Campus and Building Backbones: Support OM3 multimode backbone connections between telecommunications spaces and equipment locations where link distances are appropriate for multimode fiber.
- Existing SC Fiber Infrastructure: Integrate new OM3 terminations into networks standardized around SC connectivity.
- High-Speed Short-Reach Networks: Provide a compact fusion-splice termination solution for OM3-based optical infrastructure.
WHY CHOOSE THE 264-MCS0312-2A90 LGX CASSETTE?
Professionals choose the 264-MCS0312-2A90 for its all-in-one splicing kit, reliable OM3 multimode connectivity, SC interface, and standard LGX compatibility. Here are five reasons to specify it for your next project:
- Complete Splicing Solution – Ships with matching 900 µm OM3 pigtails, splice holders, and protection sleeves, eliminating the need to source these components separately.
- Reliable OM3 Performance – OM3 multimode connectivity is well suited for high-speed, short-reach fiber networks in data center and enterprise environments.
- SC Connectivity – Provides SC interfaces for networks and equipment standardized around the larger, widely used SC connector form factor.
- Direct Fusion-Splice Termination – Rear cable gland entry accommodates cable diameters from 0.08–0.25 in (2–6.5 mm), allowing incoming fiber to be routed directly into the cassette for splicing.
- Standard LGX Compatibility – Fits standard LGX enclosures and mounting hardware for straightforward integration into modular fiber distribution systems.
GETTING IT INSTALLED
Once you’ve specified the 264-MCS0312-2A90 for your project:
- Confirm your fiber type. Make sure the incoming multimode fiber and associated connectivity are appropriate for the OM3 network design.
- Confirm SC connectivity. Verify that the connecting patch cords, equipment, and other fiber components use the appropriate SC interfaces.
- Check your cable against the gland. Confirm the incoming fiber cable’s outer diameter falls between 0.08–0.25 in (2–6.5 mm) so it can be properly accommodated by the M12/PG7 cable gland.
- Prepare your splicing equipment. Fusion splicing requires appropriate fiber preparation tools, a fusion splicer, and technicians trained to perform and verify multimode fiber splices.
- Plan the fiber routing. Determine how the incoming fibers, splice holders, and OM3 pigtails will be routed inside the cassette while maintaining appropriate bend radius and organization.
- Splice, test, then label. After completing the fusion splices, test the finished optical connections and clearly label all 12 SC positions to simplify documentation, maintenance, and future troubleshooting.
