Splice cassettes:
The choice of type and number of splice cassettes depends on the splice technology used (e.g. fusion or mechanical splice) and the possible use of PLC splitters in it.
- Compact cassettes have a height of 5 mm and require a slot in the organizer. An
organizer slot has a height of 5 mm. A 5 mm cassette therefore requires 1 slot.
- Standard cassettes have a height of 10 mm and require two slots.
- All BPEO-K7 splice cassettes are suitable for shrink splices with a size of 2.4 mm × 45 mm or 2.4 mm × 60 mm (after shrinking). For example, the BPEO glass fibre sleeve size 1 is equipped with a fibre organizer for 12 slots. When using a 5 mm cassette for 12 shrink splices, the fiber optic sleeve can accommodate a total of 144 splices (single density).
