Abstract:
A housing including a plurality of openings for receiving fiber optic connectors and protecting the polished end face of the connectors from damage while the connectors are stored within a telecommunications connection cabinet. A module with a plurality of optical fiber cables connected to a first optical fiber cable and terminated by a fiber optic connector. Each of the connectors are inserted within openings in a connector holder for storage and protection until the cables need to be connected to a customer equipment cable.

Claim (Index 28):
A fiber optic device for installation at an installation site having a splitter mounting location separate from a connector storage location, the fiber optic device comprising:\n a splitter device including a splitter housing containing an optical splitter, the splitter housing being installable at the splitter mounting location, the splitter device also including a plurality of fiber optic cables that extend outwardly from the splitter housing, the fiber optic cables including optical fibers optically connected to the optical splitter, the fiber optic cables having first ends at the splitter housing and second ends terminated by fiber optic connectors, the fiber optic connectors having first and second opposite ends, the optical fibers having end faces at the first ends of the fiber optic connectors, the fiber optic cables extending between the second ends of the fiber optic connectors and the splitter housing, and the fiber optic connectors defining connector axes that extend between the first and second ends of the fiber optic connectors; and a connector holder having a front and a rear, the connector holder being installable at the connector storage location, the connector holder being tethered to the splitter housing by the fiber optic cables and being moveable relative to the splitter housing, the splitter housing not being mateable with the connector holder, the connector holder defining a plurality of ports having open ends at least at the front of the connector holder, the fiber optic connectors being stored within the ports prior to the connector holder being installed at the connector storage location, the fiber optic connectors being retained within the ports with the connector axes extending in a front-to-rear orientation relative to the connector holder and the second ends of the fiber optic connectors projecting outwardly from the front of the connector holder, the fiber optic connectors being stored within the ports and at least partially surrounded by closed ends of the ports or by dust caps secured to the fiber optic connectors, the fiber optic connectors being removable from the connector holder by withdrawing the fiber optic connectors along their connector axes outwardly from the front of the connector holder, the connector holder including internal portions that deform when the fiber optic connectors are inserted into the ports to allow the ports to accommodate the fiber optic connectors, the connector holder including an exterior portion that is capable of deforming to facilitate installing the connector holder at the connector storage location.
