Panduit HD Flex™ OM4 Dark Fiber Conversion Cassette

HD Flex™ Dark Fiber Conversion Cassettes are used to convert fiber cabling systems based upon multiples of 12 fibers to an 8 fiber system used by applications requiring parallel optics (e.g. 40GBASE-SR4, 100GBASE-SR4, etc).

• The cassettes utilize 12 fiber MTP connectivity in the rear of the cassette for mating to 12 fiber trunks and provide a
  breakout to 8 fiber MTP ports in the front.
• The wiring in the 2 x 3 conversion cassette combines the 4 unused fibers from the two 12 fiber trunks (on the back of the cassette)
  into a third 8 fiber port (on the front of the cassette).
• HD Flex™ Dark Fiber Conversion Cassettes are also offered in 4 x 6 cassettes in which four 12 fiber trunks are converted into six 8 fiber ports.
• Cassettes are configured for polarity as a TIA-568 Type-A or Type-B.

Application
