HIGH-DENSITY FIBER OPTIC MODULES AND MODULE HOUSINGS AND RELATED EQUIPMENT

摘要

High-density fiber optic modules and fiber optic module housings and related equipment are disclosed. In certain embodiments, a front opening of a fiber optic module and/or fiber optic module housing is configured to receive fiber optic components. The width and/or height of the front opening can be provided according to a designed relationship to a width and/or height, respectively, of a front side of a main body of the fiber optic module and/or fiber optic module housing. In this manner, a high density of fiber optic components and/or connections for a given space of the front side of the fiber optic module can be supported by the fiber optic module and/or fiber optic module housing. The fiber optic modules and fiber optic module housings disclosed herein can be disposed in fiber optic equipment including but not limited to a fiber optic chassis and a fiber optic equipment drawer. The modules further comprise at least one module rail disposed on each of the first and second sides of the main body, extending outwardly with respect to the internal chamber of the body. The rails are configured for receipt in a corresponding module guide to facilitate slidable movement of the module.
