  • Fiber optic module for limited space applications having a partially sealed module sub-assembly
    Patent number: 9279951
    Abstract: 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.

  • TILTABLE GANG FIBER ADAPTOR ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20140348467
    Abstract: A gang adaptor assembly that comprises a plurality of adaptors positioned adjacent to one another along a longitudinal axis is disclosed A first connector is disposed at a first end of the gang adaptor assembly and configured to tiltably connect the plurality of adaptors to a cassette. A second connector is disposed at a second end of the gang adaptor assembly and configured to tiltably connect the plurality of adaptors to a cassette. A latch actuator is disposed on at least one of first and second ends. The latch mechanism has a cam surface for actuating a latch mechanism on the cassette. A stop is disposed on at least one of first and second ends. The stop is configured to prevent the plurality of adaptors for rotating within cassette beyond an angle ?.
