Clearfield Clearview Blue Patch and Splice Cassette

Application

Based on the choice of adapter style, the Clearview Blue provides 12-24 ports of connectivity, scaling one cassette at a time.

Deployed with SC or LC connectors for 12-24 ports of connectivity, a single the Clearview Blue Cassette provides for patch and splice (Clearfield’s in-cassette splicing solution), patch only (stubbed) or plug-and-play (MPO/MTP) configurations in any network environment. A dual high 24 fiber Cassette offers additional splicing capacity for SC port count requirements greater than 12, utilizing the Clearview Expansion Ring to provide further flexibility and scalability within the same footprint. Dual MPO/MTP access is available on either side of the cassette. Additional optical components integrate into the cassette housing, supporting any input/output combination of splitting, mux, and demux strategies desired.

Description

Clearview Blue Cassettes are the core building block of nearly every product within the FieldSmart® fiber management system. Clearview Blue incorporates flexibility and scalability, within multiple configuration options, tool-less installation, in-cassette buffer tube/ribbon slack storage, and front access-only designs. Reducing the overall footprint of the fiber management element reduces real estate costs and improves density without compromising the critical design elements of access, bend-radius protection, physical fiber protection and route-path diversity.

Clearview Blue is a five component, tool-less system made up of a top cover, splice tray, buffer tube/ribbon slack storage, cable assembly tray and adapter plate. Parts snap together to support desired application requirements. All types of fiber cable construction can be integrated within the cassette to support in-cassette splicing, patch only, passive optical component hardware and plug-and-play scenarios.

Patch and Splice Cassette

The Patch and Splice cassette has a splice tray that nests into the lower tray allowing integrated splicing directly in the cassette. The integrated splice tray eliminates the need for dedicated splice chassis space thus reducing real estate. The cassette provides 12 ports of connectivity with the ability to scale one cassette at a time. Utilizing the dual snapin splice chip option you add an additional 12 splices for a total of 24 splices in one cassette (LC connectors). The 24 port expansion cassette doubles the height and allows 24 splices in a 2 high cassette (SC connectors). Cassettes are pre-loaded with a one meter, 250 μm fiber assembly, loose tube or ribbon, which is pre-terminated and slack stored inside the cassette. For 24 fiber loose tube configurations, 40mm splices sleeves are required (60mm sleeves will not fit). Additionally, in the bottom of the cassette, there is an area to house up to 10 feet (3.05 m) of buffer tube storage with eight cable entry/exit locations for the maximum in flexibility.

Regardless of the industry standard adapters or cable construction, the Clearview Blue handles all patch only applications using the lower tray, top cover, built in radius limiter and removable adapter plate. A patch only cassette can be configured with most industry standard adapters and cable types.
