HD cassettes are pre-terminated modules MPO-LC/SC fanouts that are suitable for up to 100G applications to interconnect the backbone with discrete connections. The HD cassettes are designed to easily plug into HD 1U 4 slot chassis, and each chassis can populate up to 96F. The cassettes eliminate the need for splicing reducing costs. The MPO and single ferrule connectors are available in Standard and Elite versions to cater to customers’ power budget requirements.
