ASCEND® Splice Cassettes are ideal for dynamic, ever-changing data center and enterprise networks. This solution facilitates faster field splicing with 250-micron pre-terminated single fiber pigtails or one SpiderWeb Ribbon® (SWR®) pigtail. These Splice Cassettes leverage a snap-in splice sleeve cradle to securely manage both single and ribbon fiber arrangements. They can be independently installed from the front or rear onto a sliding tray system, enabling easy Moves, Adds, and Changes (MACs) while allowing you to work away from the rack.
