FIBER OPTIC MODULE FOR LIMITED SPACE APPLICATIONS HAVING A PARTIALLY SEALED MODULE SUB-ASSEMBLY
First Claim
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.

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.

16. A module sub-assembly, comprising:
-
at least one fiber optic cable; at least one multi-fiber connector on an end of the fiber optic cable; 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; a demarcation; a furcation, the demarcation being located along the at least one fiber optic cable between the multi-fiber connector and the furcation, the furcation being located along the at least one fiber optic cable between the demarcation and the at least one single fiber connector; and a compression fitting, the compression fitting being about the at least one fiber optic cable between the demarcation and the multi-fiber connector. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
