Description

L-Series MPO Cassette BASE-12 provides a secure transition between MPO and LC or SC connectors and are used to interconnect MPO backbones with LC or SC patching. This modular system allows for the fast deployment of high-density data center infrastructure and makes network maintenance and reconfiguration fast and easy. Cassettes can be mounted across the range of L-Series housings.

MPO cassettes contain factory-terminated and tested MPO to LC or SC fanouts to deliver optical performance and reliability. Premium MPO and LC or SC premium versions are offered, providing low insertion loss for demanding power budgets.

The AFL Hyperscale L-Series is compatible with the industry-standard LGX format.
