1. A telecommunications module comprising:
a housing defining an interior and including a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a top wall, a bottom wall, a rear wall, and a front wall, the housing extending in a longitudinal direction from the front wall toward the rear wall; a first module input location positioned adjacent the front wall of the housing and a second module input location positioned adjacent the front wall of the housing; a module output location positioned adjacent the front wall of the housing; an optical wavelength division multiplexer/demultiplexer mounted within the interior of the housing and having a multiplexer length extending generally parallel to the longitudinal direction of the housing, the optical wavelength division multiplexer/demultiplexer including a multiplexer input location facing toward the rear wall and a multiplexer output location facing toward the front wall, the optical wavelength division multiplexer/demultiplexer configured to demultiplex an optical signal input into the telecommunications module via the first module input location into a plurality of different wavelengths; a fiber optic splitter mounted within the interior of the housing and having a splitter length extending generally parallel to the longitudinal direction of the housing, the fiber optic splitter including a splitter input location facing toward the front wall and a splitter output location facing the rear wall, the fiber optic splitter configured to split an optical signal input into the telecommunication module via the second module input location into a plurality of signals; and a plurality of optical add/drop filters mounted within the interior of the housing, each of the optical add/drop filters having a filter length extending generally parallel to the longitudinal direction of the housing, each of the optical add/drop filters configured to combine one of the signals that has been split by the fiber optic splitter and one of the wavelengths that has been demultiplexed by the optical wavelength division multiplexer/demultiplexer into a combination output signal that is output by the telecommunications module through the module output location, each optical add/drop filter including a first filter input location facing toward the front wall, a second filter input location facing toward the rear wall, and a filter output location facing toward the rear wall, the first filter input location configured to receive a signal from the fiber optic splitter and the second filter input location configured to receive a signal from the optical wavelength division multiplexer/demultiplexer. |
