ASCEND® Conversion Cassettes provide an effective solution to transition from one BASE platform to another.
The cassettes fully utilize each fiber in a BASE-12 or BASE-24 array by breaking out the MTP/ MPO
adapters at the rear of the cassette into a corresponding number of BASE-8 adapters at the front.
| Operating Wavelengths | Insertion Loss* | Reflectance |
|---|---|---|
| SM: 1310 and 1550 nm MM: 850 and 1300 nm |
Typical IL (dB): 0.35 dB Max IL (dB): 0.55 dB |
SM: 50 dB MM: 20 dB |
* For grade B MPOs, the mean IL is <= 0.12 dB and max IL <= 0.25 dB for 97% of samples. Elite MTPs maintain max IL <= 0.25 dB for 98% of samples. The probability of both two mated pairs in a module being less than 0.25 dB each is 96%.
