Configurable optical devices having an optical splitter and duplex connector

An optical device comprising:

• an optical splitter comprising an input, a network output, and a pass-through output, wherein the optical splitter is configured to split an input signal received at the input into a network optical signal at the network output and a pass-through output signal at the pass-through output;
• a duplex connector comprising an input connection point and a pass-through connection point;
• an input waveguide optically coupling the input connection point to the input of the optical splitter;
• and
• a pass-through waveguide optically coupling the pass-through connection point to the pass-through output of the optical splitter;
• an in-line housing defining an enclosure, wherein the duplex connector is coupled to the in-line housing;
• a 1×N optical splitter disposed within the enclosure;
• a network waveguide configured to optically couple the network output to an input of the 1×N optical splitter;
• and
• a plurality of output cable legs extending from the in-line housing, wherein:
• each output cable leg comprises an optical fiber;
• the optical fiber of each output cable leg is optically coupled to an individual output of N outputs of the 1×N optical splitter;
• the optical splitter, the input waveguide, the pass-through waveguide are disposed within the enclosure.

An optical connector comprising:

• a body having a front face;
• a cavity disposed within the front face of the body;
• a cassette comprising:
• a cassette housing;
• an optical splitter disposed within the cassette housing;
• and
• a duplex connector coupled to the cassette housing, wherein the duplex connector is configured to provide an input signal to an input of the optical splitter and receive a pass-through optical signal from a pass-through output of the optical splitter, wherein the cassette housing is configured to be inserted into the cavity.
