Share Product Information

Description

The U-Series MPO Cassette BASE-8 16f provides an interface between 2x40G QSFP+ transceivers with MPO interface and 8x10G SFP+ 10G transceivers with LC duplex interface.

This cassette provides a perfect alternative to fixed equipment-to-equipment connections provided by QSFP+ to SFP+ fanout assemblies. All optical ports are positioned in front of U-Series cassettes, providing convenient front access.
