Overview

The Panduit Opticom Base-12 to Base-16 Conversion Cassette (FC49N-48-463MU) is a 48-fiber OS2 MPO cassette designed for high-density fiber optic connectivity in data centers and enterprise networks. This 6-port cassette features three MPO-16 male pin adapters on the front and four MPO-12 male pin adapters on the rear, enabling seamless integration between legacy and modern fiber infrastructure. The cassette supports a total of 48 fibers, with 16 fibers per MPO-16 port and 12 fibers per MPO-12 port, allowing for efficient consolidation of multiple smaller cables into a single high-density connection. Engineered for standard insertion loss of less than 0.5 dB per mated connection, it ensures optimal signal integrity and minimizes downtime during network upgrades or expansions. The cassette simplifies cable management with a compact, modular design that measures 1.73 inches (44 mm) in height, 6.3 inches (160 mm) in width, and 3.15 inches (80 mm) in depth, making it ideal for space-constrained environments. It supports scalable deployments in high-density environments, with a front-to-rear airflow design for improved thermal management. Compatible with OS2 singlemode fiber, it delivers reliable performance for backbone and distribution applications, including 40G, 100G, and 400G networks. The FC49N-48-463MU is manufactured in the US and adheres to industry standards for low-loss connectivity, including TIA/EIA-568 and ISO/IEC 11801. The cassette is part of Panduit’s Opticom fiber optic product line, which is designed for high-performance, low-loss connectivity in mission-critical applications.
