<p>A blank module for a communications system such as an optical networking device is provided. A base is adapted to fit within a space in the communications system reserved for a working module such as an optical line module. At least one conduit receptacle is disposable on the base and capable of retaining a communications conduit at a predetermined length so as to be connectable to a component of the working module that replaces the blank module in the communications system. In this way, any conduits that are not being used at a given time owing to the absence of a working module are sized accordingly and will not have to be lengthened, shortened, or replaced when the actual working module is installed. The conduit receptacle can be used in a working module to substitute for an electrical connector.</p> |
