SENKO’s SN® non-shuttered adapters are available either as a 1-channel (2 fibers) or 4-channel variant (8 fibers). The single channel is designed for applications requiring the separation of individual optical channels such as coherent optics or wave-splitting. The 4-channel version is designed to maximize port density within patch panels, and having the same footprint size as QSFP-DD transceivers, operators can now replicate switch-ports with inter-connected patch panels on a 1:1 basis. Note: The non-shuttered adapter is slightly smaller than the shuttered version.
