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 1):
A fiber optic device for installation at an installation location, the fiber optic device comprising:\n a splitter module including an optical splitter that connects an input fiber to a plurality of optical pigtails, the optical pigtails including optical fibers extending from the splitter module to ends terminated by fiber optic connectors, the fiber optic connectors having connector axes extending between first ends of the fiber optic connectors and second ends of the fiber optic connectors, the fiber optic connectors including ferrules that receive the optical fibers, the ferrules being positioned at the first ends of the fiber optic connectors, the optical pigtails including cable portions having lengths that extend from the second ends of the fiber optic connectors to the splitter module; and a connector holder having a front and a rear, the connector holder defining a plurality of connector holder openings having open ends at least at the front of the connector holder, the fiber optic connectors stored in the connector holder openings before the connector holder is installed at the installation location, the first ends of the fiber optic connectors being retained within the connector holder openings with the connector axes perpendicular to the front of the connector holder, the fiber optic connectors being removable from the connector holder openings from the front of the connector holder, the second ends of the fiber optic connectors projecting outwardly from the front of the connector holder, the cable portions of all the optical pigtails being completely external with respect to the connector holder when the fiber optic connectors are stored within the connector holder openings, wherein the cable portions of the optical pigtails are not managed by the connector holder when the fiber optic connectors are removed from the connector holder openings, and wherein the fiber optic device is compatible with the installation location having a splitter mounting location that is remote from a connector holder mounting location.
