AFL’s Conversion Cassettes provide an effective solution to transition from one Base platform to another in data center and enterprise applications. The Conversion Cassettes fully utilize each fiber in a Base-12 or Base-24 array by breaking out the MPO adapters at the rear of the cassette into a corresponding number of Base-8 adapters at the front.
