Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020209983A1] An optical connection module includes a housing, a first connector panel coupled to the housing, a first splicing tray coupled to the housing, and a first group of intermediate optical fibers extending from the first connector panel. The module is selectively expandable to further include one or more expansion connector panels, one or more expansion splicing trays, and a second group of intermediate optical fibers, thereby offering an increased number of optical connections provided by the module. A method of expanding the number of optical connections provided by an optical connection module through the selective addition of one or more expansion connector panels and one or more expansion splicing trays is also disclosed.
