A Jump Cassette is an electronic cassette used to provide astrogational data to a jump drive.

In cases where a Generate Program is not available to assist the Pilot or Astro-Navigator in the creation of a Jump-plot for use by the Navigation Program that directs the operation of the Jump Drive, starports have single-use flight plans (in self-erasing cassettes) available for all worlds within jump range for Cr10,000 per jump number. [1] In spacer jargon, these cassettes have sometimes been referred to (erroneously) as "Jump Tapes".
