Dense wavelength division multiplexing fiber optic apparatuses and related equipment
First Claim
1. A fiber optic system comprising:
- a first fiber optic assembly comprising;
a first body;
a plurality of fiber optic components disposed on the first body; and
a first plurality of optical filters disposed on the first body, wherein at least some of the first plurality of optical filters are optically connected to at least some of the first plurality of fiber optic components to define a first plurality of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) channels, test channels, an express port, and an upgrade port; and
a second fiber optic assembly comprising;
a second body;
a second plurality of fiber optic components disposed on the second body; and
a second plurality of optical filters disposed on the second body, wherein at least some of the second plurality of optical filters are optically connected to at least some of the second plurality of fiber optic components to define a second plurality of DWDM channels,wherein the test channels and the express port of the first fiber optic assembly are utilized for both the first fiber optic assembly and the second fiber optic assembly.

Abstract
A fiber optic system is provided including a first and second fiber optic assembly, each comprising a body defining a fiber routing volume and a plurality of fiber optic components disposed on the body. The first fiber optic assembly includes a first plurality of optical filters disposed within the first fiber routing volume. The first plurality of optical filters define a first plurality of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) channels, test channels, an express port, and an upgrade port. A second plurality of optical filters disposed within the second fiber routing volume. The second plurality of optical filters define a second group comprising a second plurality of DWDM channels. The test channels and the express port of the first fiber optic assembly are utilized for both the first fiber optic assembly and the second fiber optic assembly.
