An optical interconnection assembly has Spine multi-fiber optical connectors and Leaf multi-fiber optical connectors. The Spine optical connectors of the interconnection assembly are optically connected to multi-fiber connectors of Spine switches via Spine patch cords. The Leaf multi-fiber connectors are optically connected to Leaf multi-fiber connectors of Leaf switches via Leaf patch cords. A plurality of fiber optic cables in said interconnection assembly serves to optically connect every Spine multi-fiber connector to every Leaf multi-fiber connector so that every Spine switch is optically connected to every Leaf switch. The optical interconnection assembly facilitates the deployment of network Spine-and-Leaf interconnections and the ability to scale out the network by using simplified methods described in this disclosure.
An apparatus having a plurality of multi-fiber connector adapters, where said adapters connect to network equipment in a data communications network, and where the apparatus incorporates an internal mesh having 512 optical fibers, implemented by concatenating or interleaving four identical sub-meshes, each comprising 128 optical fiber interconnections.
A structured cable system comprising a stack of modules, where each module has a plurality of optical parallel connector adapters, incorporate an internal mesh of 512 ports, implemented by concatenating or interleaving four identical sub meshes, each with 128 ports, wherein a stack of modules can be used to deploy or scale various Clos network topologies.
A fiber optic module apparatus which comprises, a main body, a front face, a rear side, a left side, a right side, and an internal structure wherein:
