SPLICE MODULE FOR FIBER BLADE

摘要

A blade arrangement for use in a bladed chassis system includes a splice module coupled to a blade. The splice module includes a splice region, a storage region, a first enter/exit region at the first side, and a second enter/exit region at the second side. Either of the enter/exit regions can be faced towards a rear of the blade when the splice module is mounted to the blade. The splice allows unterminated optical cables routed to the rear of the blade to be optically spliced to connectorized pigtails that are received at rear ports of optical adapters on the blade.

1. A blade arrangement for use in a bladed chassis system, the blade comprising:
a blade including a panel extending between a front and a rear and between a first side and an opposite second side, the blade including a plurality of optical adapters disposed on the panel, each of the optical adapters having a front-facing port and a rear-facing port, the blade also including a retention arrangement having a stop member resiliently movable relative to the panel; and a fiber module coupled to the blade, the fiber module extending between first and second opposite ends and between first and second opposite sides, the fiber module including a splice region, a storage region, a first enter/exit region at the first side, and a second enter/exit region at the second side, the first and second enter/exit regions being aligned along a fiber routing axis that extends between the first and second sides of the fiber module.
