Patch and Splice
The Patch and Splice cassette has a splice tray that nests into the lower tray allowing integrated splicing directly in the cassette. The integrated splice tray eliminates the need for dedicated splice chassis space thus reducing real estate. The cassette provides 12 ports of connectivity with the ability to scale one cassette at a time. Utilizing the dual snapin splice chip option you add an additional 12 splices for a total of 24 splices in one cassette (LC connectors). The 24 port expansion cassette doubles the height and allows 24 splices in a 2 high cassette (SC connectors). Cassettes are pre-loaded with a one meter, 250 μm fiber assembly, loose tube or ribbon, which is pre-terminated and slack stored inside the cassette. For 24 fiber loose tube configurations, 40mm splices sleeves are required (60mm sleeves will not fit). Additionally, in the bottom of the cassette, there is an area to house up to 10 feet (3.05 m) of buffer tube storage with eight cable entry/exit locations for the maximum in flexibility.
