Optical Connectivity 1 DENALI ™ Patch Cassettes DENALI Patch Cassettes enable high-density, high-performance fiber interconnects for data center and enterprise environments. Designed for seamless integration with MPO Trunk Assemblies, Patch Cords, and Fanouts, these Cassettes simplify network scaling while maximizing rack space. DENALI Patch Cassettes are fully compatible with all DENALI Housings. Front and rear adapter access supports efficient cross-connection, while the compact footprint enhances fiber management in high-density deployments. Globally available in a variety of configurations, DENALI Patch Cassettes streamline installation, reduce infrastructure complexity, and deliver consistent network performance.

Features:
- Up to 12 LC ports (24 fibers) per cassette
- Base-8, Base-12, Base-16, and
Base-24 configurations
- Front or rear cassette loading for
flexible installation
- Shuttered LC Adapters to improve
laser safety and reduce dirt/
contamination ingress
Applications:
- AI/ML
- Hyperscale
- Colocation
- Campus Networks
- Central Office and
Office Backbone
Part of the DENALI platform, Patch Cassettes are pre-loaded with MPO adapters or VFL-compatible shuttered LC adapters.
Available in Base-8, Base-12, Base-16, and
Base-24 configurations, Patch Cassettes install easily from the front or rear of any standard DENALI housing. Each cassette independently mounts onto a sliding tray which allows access to individual connections while minimizing disruption to other fiber connections.
