Abstract
An apparatus implements high density fiber panel organization. The apparatus includes a module configured to be secured to a panel of a 1 U rack. The apparatus further includes a front end of the module. The apparatus further includes a height of the front end corresponding to a height of a 1 U rack. The apparatus further includes an aspect ratio of the front end greater than 0.7. The aspect ratio is identified by the height of the front end divided by a width of the front end.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a module configured to be secured to a panel of a 1 U rack, the module including a front end;
- structured with:
- a height corresponding to a height of a 1 U rack;
- and
- an aspect ratio of the front end greater than 0.7, wherein the aspect ratio is identified by the height of the front end divided by a width of the front end, the module comprising:
- a module housing;
- a bezel frame secured by a set of retaining grooves within the module housing of the module,
- a plurality of connector adapters secured with the bezel frame;
- a plurality of connectors attached to the plurality of connector adapters, wherein the plurality of connectors include a first set of connectors and a second set of connectors;
- and
- a plurality of optical fibers routed within the module housing of the module to the plurality of connectors, wherein optical fibers from the first set of connectors are not grouped together and optical fibers from the second set of connectors are grouped together.
A system comprising:
- a panel configured to be secured to a 1 U rack;
- and
- a module configured to be secured to the panel, the module including:
- a front end structured with:
- a height corresponding to a height of a 1 U rack;
- and
- an aspect ratio of the front end greater than 0.7, wherein the aspect ratio is identified by the height of the front end divided by a width of the front end, the module comprising:
- a module housing;
- a bezel frame secured by a set of retaining grooves within the module housing of the module,
- a plurality of connector adapters secured with the bezel frame;
- a plurality of connectors attached to the plurality of connector adapters, wherein the plurality of connectors include a first set of connectors and a second set of connectors;
- and
- a plurality of optical fibers routed within the module housing of the module to the plurality of connectors, wherein optical fibers from the first set of connectors are not grouped together and optical fibers from the second set of connectors are grouped together.
A method, comprising:
- securing a module to a panel of a 1 U rack, wherein the module including a front end structured with:
- a height corresponding to a height of a 1 U rack;
- and
- an aspect ratio of the front end greater than 0.7, wherein the aspect ratio is identified by the height of the front end divided by a width of the front end, the module comprising:
- a module housing;
- a bezel frame secured by a set of retaining grooves within the module housing of the module,
- a plurality of connector adapters secured with the bezel frame;
- a plurality of connectors attached to the plurality of connector adapters, wherein the plurality of connectors include a first set of connectors and a second set of connectors;
- and
- a plurality of optical fibers routed within the module housing of the module to the plurality of connectors, wherein optical fibers from the first set of connectors are not grouped together and optical fibers from the second set of connectors are grouped together;
- and
- securing the panel to the 1 U rack.
