ACT FA2053 MTP/MPO to LC 12-Fiber Multimode Cassette, Type B Polarity, Black Metal Housing, 1U Rack Mount

Fiber optic cassette engineered for high-density 12-fiber MTP/MPO to LC duplex breakout in 1U rack-mount environments. The FA2053 delivers a low-loss transition from a single MTP/MPO trunk to six LC duplex ports, simplifying cable management in data centers and enterprise networks.

Advantages

Tool-less snap-in mounting into compatible patch panels accelerates deployment and reduces installation time. The metal housing provides robust protection and durability, while the Type B polarity ensures compatibility with standard structured cabling systems. OM3/OM4 multimode support enables 10G/40G/100G transmission over short distances.
