Abstract
A fiber optic adapter block is disclosed. The fiber optic adapter block includes at least three fiber optic adapters provided in a stacked arrangement extending widthwise in a longitudinal direction, wherein every other adapter of the at least three fiber optic adapters is staggered in a front to back direction with respect to an adjacent adapter such that front ends of the every other adapter of the at least three fiber optic adapters are aligned at a first depth and a front end of the adjacent adapter is at a second depth that is different than the first depth.
Claims13
A fiber optic adapter assembly comprising:
- a first plurality of fiber optic adapters and a second plurality of fiber optic adapters that are arranged in an alternating configuration with respect to the first plurality of adapters, wherein the first and second pluralities of fiber optic adapters are stacked extending widthwise in a longitudinal direction, wherein front ends of the first plurality of fiber optic adapters are aligned at a first depth and front ends of the second plurality of fiber optic adapters are aligned at a second depth that is different than the first depth in a front to back direction, wherein all of the first and second pluralities of fiber optic adapters define parallel adapter axes, wherein each of the first and second pluralities of fiber optic adapters is configured with circuitry defining a media reading interface for collecting data from one or more fiber optic connectors received within the fiber optic adapter.
