The Corning CCH Pigtailed Splice Cassette, model CCH-CS12-AE-P00RE, is designed to facilitate faster field splicing and provide modular management of connectorization within fiber optic housings. This cassette is preloaded and pre-routed for efficient fusion splicing of individual or ribbon fiber pigtails, utilizing the same space-saving platform as standard CCH splice cassettes. It aims to reduce field labor by streamlining components and features, allowing for greater efficiency in fiber optic installations.
The cassette is prepped with a 3-meter pigtail assembly, compatible with all pre-existing CCH panel connector options. It features 900 µm cabling at the connector panel for enhanced durability and colored 250 µm fibers for ease of splicing. Strain relief is pre-applied from the manufacturing facility. This modular design allows for easy access to fibers within an individual cassette without disturbing other fibers in the housing.

4. Persediaan dan Pemasangan
The CCH pigtailed splice cassette is designed for straightforward installation within compatible Corning CCH housings. The pre-routed pigtails and included accessories simplify the splicing process.
4.1. Langkah Pemasangan Umum
- Housing Preparation: Ensure your CCH-01U, CCH-02U, CCH-03U, or CCH-04U housing is properly mounted and ready for cassette insertion.
- Cassette Insertion: Slide the pigtailed splice cassette into the designated slot within the CCH housing. Use the appropriate rails provided (one rail for 01U/02U/03U, two rails for 04U).
- Incoming Cable Routing: Route the incoming fiber optic cable into the housing and through the protective braided tubing provided. Secure the cable using the grommets and cable ties for strain relief.
- Pigtail Routing: The pigtails are pre-routed within the cassette. Ensure they are not kinked or excessively bent.
- Penyambungan: Perform fusion splicing of the incoming fibers to the 250 µm colored pigtail fibers. The modular design allows splicing to be done away from the rack housing in a suitable workspace, if preferred. Utilize the included heat-shrink splice protectors for each splice.
- Connectorization: Connect the LC UPC duplex shuttered connectors to the appropriate ports on your equipment or patch panel.

5. Operasi
The Corning CCH Pigtailed Splice Cassette is a passive component designed to organize and protect fiber optic splices and connections within a fiber optic housing. Its primary function is to provide a secure and accessible environment for fusion splicing and subsequent connection to active equipment or patch panels.
5.1. Fiber Management
Once installed and spliced, the cassette effectively manages the fiber slack and protects the delicate splice points. The modular design allows for individual cassette access, meaning you can work on or inspect fibers within one cassette without disturbing the connections or splices in adjacent cassettes within the same housing.
5.2. Ketersambungan
The LC UPC duplex shuttered connectors on the cassette provide a reliable interface for connecting to network devices, switches, or other fiber optic equipment. The shutters protect the ferrule ends from dust and debris when not in use, maintaining optimal signal integrity.
6. Penyelenggaraan
Proper maintenance of fiber optic components is crucial for ensuring long-term performance and reliability. While the CCH splice cassette itself requires minimal maintenance, the connected fibers and connectors do.
6.1. Pembersihan Penyambung
Regular cleaning of the LC UPC duplex connectors is highly recommended. Dust, dirt, and oils can significantly degrade optical performance. Use only approved fiber optic cleaning tools and methods, such as lint-free wipes with isopropyl alcohol or specialized one-click cleaners. Always inspect connectors with a fiber inspection microscope before and after cleaning.
6.2. Pengurusan Kabel
Ensure that all incoming and outgoing cables are properly routed and secured within the housing, avoiding sharp bends or excessive tension. Verify that strain relief mechanisms (grommets, cable ties) are functioning correctly.
6.3. Pertimbangan Alam Sekitar
Keep the housing and cassette free from dust and moisture. Operate within the specified environmental conditions to prevent damage to the fiber optic components.
7. Penyelesaian masalah
Most issues related to fiber optic connectivity stem from dirty connectors, damaged fibers, or improper splicing. The CCH splice cassette itself is a passive component and is unlikely to be the direct cause of signal issues unless physically damaged.
7.1. Isu dan Penyelesaian Biasa
- High Optical Loss / No Signal:
- Punca: Dirty connectors. Penyelesaian: Clean all LC UPC connectors thoroughly using appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools.
- Punca: Poor fusion splice. Penyelesaian: Re-inspect splices using an OTDR or visual fault locator (VFL). Re-splice if necessary.
- Punca: Kinked or damaged fiber within the cassette or housing. Penyelesaian: Carefully inspect fiber routing for any sharp bends or physical damage.
- Punca: Incorrect fiber type (e.g., multimode connected to single-mode equipment). Penyelesaian: Verify that OS2 single-mode fiber is used throughout the link.
- Sambungan Terputus-putus:
- Punca: Penyambung longgar. Penyelesaian: Ensure all LC connectors are fully seated and latched.
- Punca: Vibration or movement affecting connections. Penyelesaian: Ensure the cassette is securely installed in the housing and all cables are properly strain-relieved.
If issues persist after performing these checks, it is recommended to use specialized fiber optic testing equipment (e.g., Optical Power Meter, OTDR) to diagnose the exact location and nature of the fault.
