MTP brand-LC 10 Gig Enterprise Fiber Cables

The Chameleon Patch Cable System is designed specifically to interface with the Chameleon High Volume Cassette Module. The system consists of 2 different color coded 24 fiber MTP brand– LC patch cables. The patent pending patch cable design eliminates the chance of crosstalk at the 72 fiber connection point in the cassette. Featuring a low profile 24 fiber Siamese design along with LC UniBoot connectors, the Chameleon Patch Cable System saves critical space at the server or fiber manager fiber interface.
