Patent ID: 6901200

Claim:
A module for a wavelength division multiplexing system comprising: a plurality of fiberoptic adapters for connecting and routing of fiber optic cables, the plurality of adapters having at least a first adapter and second adapter associated therewith; a first connector panel having a first stepped face comprising a plurality of steps, each of the plurality of first steps having an essentially planar surface capable of receiving the first adapter; a second connector panel having a second stepped face comprising a plurality of steps, each of the plurality of second steps having an essentially planar surface capable of receiving the second adapter; a base essentially planar in shape and releasably attached to the first and second connector panels, the base further having a handle integral therewith for facilitating removal of the module; a multiplexing clamp releasably mounted to the base; a first splice platform releasably mounted to at least one of the base, or the multiplexing clamp; and a second splice platform located proximate to the first splice platform and releasably mounted to at least one of the base, the multiplexing clamp, and the first splice platform.
