Abstract
An optical splitter module includes a housing wherein an input optical fiber and an output optical fiber pass through a single opening in the housing.
Claims24
An optical splitter module for optically connecting at least one input optical fiber and at least one output optical fiber, the optical splitter module comprising:
- a housing having at least one opening thereon;
- and
- at least one spool positioned within the housing,
- wherein the input optical fiber and the output optical fiber comprise separate fibers and both the input optical fiber and the output optical fiber pass through a single opening in the housing.
An optical splitter module for optically connecting optical fibers entering the optical splitter module to optical fibers exiting the optical splitter module, the optical splitter module comprising:
- a housing defining an exterior surface and an opening therethrough;
- at least one splitter body positioned within the housing;
- and
- a fanout holder positioned at least partially within the opening of the housing,
- wherein the optical fibers enter and exit the optical splitter module through the fanout holder.
An optical splitter module for optically connecting optical fibers, the optical splitter module comprising:
- a housing defining an exterior surface and an opening therethrough;
- at least one splitter body positioned within the housing;
- and
- a fanout holder positioned at least partially within the opening of the housing,
- wherein the fanout holder comprises at least one loose tube through which the optical fiber is threaded.
An optical splitter module for optically connecting optical fibers, the optical splitter module comprising:
- housing defining an exterior surface and an opening therethrough;
- at least one splitter body positioned within the housing;
- and at least one MTP adapter positioned at least partially within the exterior surface of the housing.
