International Connectors and Cable ICFC24MLD6 MPO Cassette

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable ICFC24MLD6 is a high-density fiber optic MPO cassette designed for terminating 24-fiber MPO trunk cables into six duplex LC connectors. This configuration is common in data center and enterprise network closets where space is at a premium and efficient patching is required. It simplifies fiber management by consolidating multiple connections within a single, rack-mountable unit, reducing cable clutter and installation time. The ICFC24MLD6 model specifically supports 62.5-micron multimode fiber (OM1/OM2) and provides six LC Quad ports, each housing two LC connectors, for a total of twelve LC connections from the 24-fiber MPO input.

Compatibility

This MPO cassette is designed to interface with standard LC fiber optic patch panels and network equipment. It accepts a 24-fiber MPO connector on its rear input and breaks out to six duplex LC connectors on the front. The 62.5-micron multimode fiber specification makes it suitable for short-reach applications, typically up to 300 meters for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-SR) or 2000 meters for legacy 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-LX) at 850nm. It is compatible with any network switch, router, or server that utilizes standard LC duplex fiber optic ports and adheres to the specified fiber type and distance limitations.

Installation Notes

The cassette is designed for standard 1U or 2U fiber optic patch panel enclosures, typically mounting via simple clip-in mechanisms or screw-down points depending on the panel. Ensure the MPO connector is clean before insertion to prevent signal degradation. The LC connectors on the front should be protected with dust caps when not in use. Verify fiber type (62.5-micron multimode) matches the existing network infrastructure to avoid performance issues.
