Abstract
A telecommunications assembly includes a chassis and a plurality of modules removably mounted within the chassis. The modules include one or more fiber optic signal input locations. The modules include optical equipment for splitting the input signals into customer output signals.
Claims14
A telecommunications assembly comprising:
- A. a chassis defining at least one mounting location for slidably receiving a telecommunications module;
- and
- B. a telecommunications module inserted into the at least one mounting location of the chassis, the telecommunications module comprising:
- i. a housing including a signal output location;
- ii. an optical component located within the housing, the optical component configured to receive a fiber optic input signal coming in from a signal input location of the housing and output a fiber optic output signal going toward the signal output location of the housing;
- and
- iii. a cable exit structure defining a top wall and a bottom wall, the cable exit structure defining the signal output location of the housing, the cable exit structure defining an integrally formed unitary structure extending at least a majority of a height defined between a top wall and a bottom wall of the housing, wherein the telecommunications module further comprises a flexible latch for mounting to the chassis with a snap-fit interlock, wherein at least one of the top wall and the bottom wall of the cable exit structure is positioned adjacent the flexible latch without another intermediate structure being positioned between a flexible end of the latch and the cable exit structure.
