Corning has stickers that affix to a plate that slides out from the bottom of the unit that allows for labeling of the connections without having to disturb fibers while updating labels. As can labeling them given how dense this 288 fiber housing is. Keeping track of higher-density connections can be a challenge. The two larger holes on either side of the twelve fibers are for guide pins as this is a female connector. The cassette breaks out these twelve fibers in this connector and turns them into six pairs of LC connectors on the front of the cassette. Here you can see them at the end of this cable. We have had some questions about the MTP-12 fibers we are using. Fiber Optic Cassettes Corning CCH 24 Port Cassette 2x MTP 12 Side Inside the box, all of this breakout action happens. Each MTP-12 connector brings in 12 fibers and so one connects to ports 1-12 and the other 13-24 on the front. The rear of the units has two MTP-12 connectors. Fiber Optic Cassettes Corning CCH 24 Port Cassette Front With LC Cable This means one does not have to manage dust covers, especially important when these are full. The “shuttered” feature means that the LC duplex connectors have small shutters or doors that are moved out of the way when a LC cable is inserted.

(See the difference between LC and SC connectors guide here.) Fiber Optic Cassettes Corning CCH 24 Port Cassette Front One can, as a result, plug twelve LC duplex cables. Fiber Optic Cassettes Corning CCH 04U Front 1Įach of these CCH modules (CCH-UM24-06-93T) has 24 shuttered LC connectors on one end. Clearly, the bigger feature is that this has a total of 12x 24 shuttered LC connections. There is also a hinged top where the cable management hooks reside on the ceiling of the unit. There are more cable management mounting points on the top and the bottom. Opening up the older, decommissioned, and the fuller unit we can see a bit of a different layout. Fiber Optic Cassettes 12x MTP Coupler Faceplate 2 Here you can get a sense of what one of those 12x MTP coupler panels are doing with an MTP housing on both sides of the panel.

Fiber Optic Cassettes Corning CCH 04U Front With 1x Patch Below we also have a single 12x MTP-12 coupler module installed designed to handle twelve cables and a total of 144 fibers. There are then twelve slots for modules labeled A-M. One can see that this model has cable management installed at the bottom. Here is an example with that front panel down.

Fiber Optic Cassettes Corning CCH 04U Newer Front One of the nice things about this is that the 4U solutions we are looking at can handle twelve CCH modules and they also have a clear front panel so you can see the connections before opening up and accessing the faceplate. Here is the “updated” look on the newer CCH-04U: Fiber Optic Cassettes Corning CCH 04U Newer Front LANscapeĬorning also makes 1U, 2U, and 3U housings as part of this same system. Fiber Optic Cassettes Corning CCH 04U Front LANscape CCH stands for Closet Connector Housings in Corning’s abbreviated naming. What we are looking at is the Corning CCH-04U which is part of the company’s LANscape line. We always recommend that you open this in a dedicated tab, window, or app for better viewing.
