Fiber optic module for limited space applications having a partially sealed module sub-assembly

摘要

A fiber optic module having a module housing and a module sub-assembly. The module housing defines at least an interior space, at least one adapter aperture and at least one input aperture. The module sub-assembly defines at least one fiber optic cable, for example, passing through the at least one input aperture, at least one multi-fiber connector on an end of the fiber optic cable, and at least one single fiber connector on an opposite end of the fiber optic cable, the multi-fiber connector being in optical communication with the at least one single fiber connector, the multi-fiber connector capable of flexing on the at least one fiber optic cable relative to the module housing.

1. A fiber optic module, comprising:
a module housing defining an interior space, the module housing further defining at least one adapter aperture and at least one input aperture; and a module sub-assembly, the sub-assembly comprising at least one fiber optic cable passing through the at least one input aperture, at least one multi-fiber connector on an end of the fiber optic cable, and at least one single fiber connector on an opposite end of the fiber optic cable, the multi-fiber connector being in optical communication with the at least one single fiber connector, the at least one multi-fiber connector being disposed outside the interior space and the at least one single fiber connector being disposed within the interior space, the multi-fiber connector capable of flexing on the at least one fiber optic cable relative to the module housing; a compression fitting associated with the at least one input aperture for securing the module assembly to the module housing, the fiber optic cable passing through the compression fitting and extending out of the interior space for a distance, the distance being adjustable from a first distance to a second distance.
