Splice Cassettes
Splice cassettes
Types of cassettes
The cassette is an essential part of every fiber optic end product. Wherever you have a box or 19" panel and especially FOSC's you will have a cassette inside to arrange your cables,tubes, fibers and splices.
There are many types of cassettes but they all have three essential thing in them :
- Splice Holder - from 6 to 24 fibers and from 1 to 12 holders in a single cassette
- Routes for the fibers
- Routes for the tubes - mainly there are 4 on a normal cassette but in the cases of big FOSC or GCO they might have only 2 because you are not suppose to have 4 ends in a FOSC (if it's not an In-Line type)
* depending on the cassette their might even have a slot for a splitter.
Every cassette is different from the other by its routing or the holders they use in, BUT there are 2 MAIN types:
- Cassettes who needs measuring of the fibers
- Cassettes who don't need measuring of the fibers
There has always been a discussion on which type is better and from my point of view is the one who does not need measuring and i'm going to tell you why.
First and foremost it saves you a TON of time. Imagine having to do a FOSC with 288 splices that is 24 tubes of 12 fibers (or more if you use 2,4,8 fibers in a tube). That mean you have to do at least 24 measures before you ever start to work. That's roughly a 30-60 minutes of work which is not that much, but hey that's PER DAY .
With the measureless cassettes you simply tight your tubes and start working. That's it you're done !
Second - after you are done with the spicing you can easily arrange the excess fibers in a good looking way. Why do i say that you may ask.
Well i have seen a lot of engineers who don't appreciate their work and leave a mess in the cassette, just because they don't know how to deal with an occurred problem or out of laziness . I know most of you have also had to do a rework of a colleague of your, because they made a mess.
And the mess is caused by a broken or non measured fibers (for the measuring cassettes).
That's not the case with the non-measuring cassettes. You can broke a fiber 10 times and you will still be able to put it on the right spot on the holder without any hustle .
Tell me more about your experience with splice cassettes and correct me if i said something wrong !

I have already read out this content. That\'s very interesting. Thanks for sharing this informative information. I am waiting for your next information.
The things are discussed in this topic is essentially not about interacting integrating-modeling which is related to environmental and human health. Now before you ever go to understand the the process by which different modeling efforts can be brought together to simulate the target system.
An fascinating discussion will be worth comment. I’m sure that you need to write much more about this topic, may possibly not certainly be a taboo subject but usually people are not enough to communicate in on such topics. To another location. Cheers

I’d also like to say that most of those that find themselves with out health insurance can be students, self-employed and people who are jobless. More than half from the uninsured are really under the age of Thirty-five. They do not come to feel they are needing health insurance since they are young in addition to healthy. Their particular income is typically spent on houses, food, and entertainment. Most people that do go to work either full or not professional are not made available insurance by their jobs so they move without with the rising cost of health insurance in the usa. Thanks for the tips you write about through this website.
Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips and hints for novice blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
Good post here. One thing I’d like to say is most professional areas consider the Bachelor’s Degree just as the entry level requirement for an online certification. Even though Associate Qualifications are a great way to begin with, completing the Bachelors starts up many opportunities to various jobs, there are numerous online Bachelor Diploma Programs available by institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another issue is that many brick and mortar institutions offer Online versions of their degree programs but generally for a drastically higher price than the providers that specialize in online degree programs.
