FIBER OPTIC MULTIPORT

摘要

A fiber optic multiport includes a housing, a multi-fiber connector coupled to the housing, a plurality of optical fibers, extensions, and ports connected to distal ends of the extensions. The housing defines an enclosure and may seal off the enclosure from the environment. The plurality of optical fibers are connected to and extend from the multi-fiber connector into the enclosure. The extensions have proximal ends attached to the housing and the extensions project away from the housing. The extensions support sub-sets of the plurality of optical fibers, and the extensions are flexible such that the extensions may bend independently of one another.

1. A fiber optic multiport, comprising:
a housing, wherein the housing defines an enclosure; a plurality of optical fibers extending into the enclosure; extensions having a proximal end attached to the housing, the extensions projecting away from a face of the housing, wherein the extensions support sub-sets of the plurality of optical fibers; and ports connected to distal ends of the extensions, wherein an area of the face of the housing is less than a net area of forward end-faces of the ports.
