Abstract:
Examples of optical splitter systems, methods and modules enable the stacking and interconnecting of one or more optical splitter modules. One example of a splitter module has a housing and one or more connection members for connecting to adjacent instances of like splitter modules. The housing includes a plurality of cable ports providing access to an optical splitter storage area. Each connection member includes a tab and a slot, the tab configured to slidingly engage with the slot of an adjacent connection member. Sliding engagement of adjacent instances of splitter modules can form a stack of splitter modules along a stacking axis. In some cases a splitter module includes a latching mechanism to removably engage an adjacent splitter module. The latching mechanism can restrict sliding engagement and thus decoupling of the adjacent splitter modules.

Claim (Index 2):
The cable splitter module of  claim 1 , wherein the connection member is a first side connection member, and further comprising\n a second side connection member at the second side of the housing opposite from the first side connection member, the second side connection member comprising\n a rigid wall member having a first end and a second end comprising a tab projecting from the wall member, and \n a slot extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing; \n wherein the second side connection member is configured to connect to an adjacent instance of the second side connection member on the adjacent cable splitter module; wherein the tab of the second side connection member is configured to slidingly engage with the slot of the adjacent second side connection member in the first connection configuration to restrict relative movement along the stacking axis; and wherein the slot of the second side connection member is configured to slidingly engage with the tab of the adjacent second side connection member in the second connection configuration to restrict relative movement along the stacking axis.
