• Microcable Assemblies
– Are loaded into each panel based on customer order. Options
for a particular panel include either single 12-fiber microcables or a dual microcable
consisting of two 12-fiber subunits. The microcables may be either single-mode reduced
bend radius (RBR) or multimode.
The internal cable ends may be terminated with single-mode SC (UPC or APC), single-
mode LC (UPC or APC), multimode SC (UPC), or multimode LC (UPC) connectors. The
external cable ends may be terminated with connector fanout assemblies, NG4access
cabled modules, MPO connectors, or stub end non-functional connectors.
The fanout assemblies will be 12-fiber single-mode SC (UPC or APC), single-mode LC
(UPC or APC), multimode SC (UPC), or multimode LC (UPC). The NG4access cabled
modules will be either one 24-fiber LC module (UPC or APC) or two 12-fiber SC modules
(UPC or APC). The MPO connectors are of 12-fiber construction and equipped with a
