HD Cassettes
Product Overview
NetSource’s SOURCE+ HD Series MTP® Cassettes are engineered for high-density fiber applications, delivering efficient and compact connectivity in space-constrained environments. Designed to accommodate up to 96 LC fibers per rack unit (1RU), these modular cassettes break out MTP® trunk cables into LC or SC connections, simplifying fiber management and speeding up installation.
The HD Series supports 8F, 12F, and 24F MTP® ferrules and integrates seamlessly with SOURCE+ trunks, enclosures, and patch cords to provide a complete plug-and-play solution. With standard and low-loss options, as well as support for Method A, B, C, and universal polarity configurations, NetSource HD cassettes are ideal for 10G/40G/100G network migration.
