The HDM Cassette 1x MPO-8 to 8x LC/APC is a high-density fiber breakout module designed for use within HDM modular rackmount panel systems. Designed for seamless integration into HDM rackmount panels, this cassette enables rapid deployment and straightforward migration from parallel MPO base-8 architectures to duplex LC/APC connectivity. As part of the broader HDM cassette and adapter plate ecosystem, it is fully interchangeable with other HDM modules, supporting flexible connector strategies within a single chassis. The breakout cassette has rear MPO access broken out to LC/APC in the front. The rugged metal enclosure delivers greater impact resistance and long-term reliability compared to traditional plastic cassette designs, making it well suited for data center, service provider, and enterprise applications.
