Hubbell OCSPLCD12SM Fiber Splice Cassette

Overview

The Hubbell OCSPLCD12SM is a 12-fiber splice cassette designed for terminating and managing single-mode G.657.A1 fiber optic connections within fiber optic enclosures and patch panels. This cassette simplifies fiber management by providing a structured environment for fusion splicing, ensuring clean termination and protecting splice points. It's engineered for deployments requiring high-density fiber termination and reliable signal integrity, such as in data centers, telecommunications networks, and enterprise backbones where precise fiber management is critical. The OCSPLCD12SM model specifically utilizes LC duplex adapters for its 12-fiber capacity.

Compatibility

This splice cassette is designed to integrate with Hubbell's line of fiber optic enclosures and patch panels that support cassette-based fiber management systems. It is compatible with standard 19-inch rack-mount fiber optic panels and wall-mount enclosures that accept this form factor. The cassette is intended for use with G.657.A1 single-mode fiber, commonly deployed in high-bandwidth, long-distance applications.

Installation Notes

Fusion splicing of the 12 individual fibers to the pigtails within the cassette requires standard fiber optic splicing equipment and trained technicians. Ensure the receiving enclosure or panel provides adequate space and mounting provisions for the cassette. Proper bend radius management for the incoming fiber and the internal splices is crucial to maintain signal performance and prevent fiber damage.
