Abstract
An optical connectivity module suitable for installation in a corresponding chassis. The connectivity module typically comprises a housing defining an interior and comprising a front face, wherein at least one row of adapters suitable to receive thereto corresponding optical connectors from the interior and from the exterior, the row of adapters being arranged in the front face spanning essentially across a total width of the front face. Usually at least one cable channel leading into the front face above or below the row of adapters, for routing therein at least one optical cable across the front face being during operation interconnected to at least one of the adapters of the row of adapters from the interior.
Claims16
An optical connectivity module suitable for installation in a corresponding chassis, the connectivity module comprising:
- a. a housing defining an interior space for internal routing of multiple optical fibers;
- b. the housing comprising a front face with at least one row of adapters suitable to receive thereto corresponding optical connectors from the interior and from the exterior, the row of adapters being arranged in the front face spanning essentially across a total width of the front face;
- c. the housing comprising a front section comprising the front face, a first side face having arranged therein the at least one cable channel and a second side face extending essentially parallel to the first side face, wherein the first and the second side faces respectively adjoin the front face essentially perpendicular on opposite ends and a rear section adjoining the front section and comprising an arch-shaped rear wall, wherein the rear section has a width less than or equal to the total width of the front face;
- and
- d. at least one cable channel leading into the front face by a mouth-opening being with respect to the general direction (y) of the row of adapters arranged laterally offset (z), for routing therein at least one optical cable through the front face being during operation interconnected to at least one of the adapters of the row of adapters in the interior space.
