Abstract:
High-connection density and bandwidth fiber optic apparatuses and related equipment and methods are disclosed. In certain embodiments, fiber optic apparatuses are provided and comprise a chassis defining one or more U space fiber optic equipment units. At least one of the one or more U space fiber optic equipment units may be configured to support particular fiber optic connection densities and bandwidths in a given 1-U space. The fiber optic connection densities and bandwidths may be supported by one or more fiber optic components, including but not limited to fiber optic adapters and fiber optic connectors, including but not limited to simplex, duplex, and other multi-fiber fiber optic components. The fiber optic components may also be disposed in fiber optic modules, fiber optic patch panels, or other types of fiber optic equipment.

Claim (Index 23):
A fiber optic apparatus, comprising:\n a chassis configured to be disposed in an equipment rack, the chassis comprising front and rear ends that are spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction, and comprising opposite first and second ends that are spaced apart from one another in a lateral direction that extends crosswise to the longitudinal direction; a plurality of fiber optic equipment trays supported by the chassis and extendable relative to the chassis in the longitudinal direction; and a plurality of fiber optic modules configured to be installed in the plurality of fiber optic equipment trays, wherein each fiber optic module of the plurality of fiber optic modules comprises a front side configured to support a plurality of first fiber optic components, a rear side configured to support at least one second fiber optic component, an internal chamber, and a plurality of optical fibers disposed within the internal chamber and arranged to establish optical connections between the at least one second fiber optic component and the plurality of first fiber optic components; wherein each fiber optic equipment tray of the plurality of fiber optic equipment trays is configured to receive multiple fiber optic modules of the plurality of fiber optic modules; wherein:\n each fiber optic equipment tray is configured to slide in the longitudinal direction between a front position and a rear position; \n the fiber optic apparatus is configured to permit at least one fiber optic module to be installed in the fiber optic equipment tray when the fiber optic equipment tray is in the front position; and \n the fiber optic apparatus is configured to permit at least one fiber optic module to be installed in the fiber optic equipment tray when the fiber optic equipment tray is in the rear position; \n wherein the chassis is sized for a 4-U space, in which a U space comprises a height of 1.75 inches and comprises a width of 19 inches or 23 inches; and wherein the plurality of fiber optic equipment trays and the plurality of fiber optic modules are configured to support a fiber optic connection density of five hundred seventy-six (576) fiber optic connections in the 4-U space of the chassis, based on using a simplex fiber optic component or a duplex fiber optic component as each fiber optic component of the plurality of first fiber optic components.
