Abstract:
A fiber optic cassette includes a housing with a base and a cover. The base defines an open front between first and second sidewalls, which transition into first and second curved rear wall portions. The first and second curved rear wall portions define an adapter mount therebetween forming at least one pocket. A signal entry location defined by at least one MPO adapter is positioned within the pocket and defines an exterior port and an interior port. A fiber optic cable connectorized by an MPO format connector is mated to the exterior port. An adapter block defining a plurality of second fiber optic adapters is mounted to the base via a first snap-fit interlock to close the open front, each second fiber optic adapter including an exterior port and an interior port. An MPO format connector is mated to the interior port of the MPO format adapter and terminates a plurality of fibers that are terminated at opposite ends with connectors that are mated to the interior ports of the second fiber optic adapters, wherein each fiber extending from the adapter mount to the second fiber optic adapters being the same length and relaying the fiber optic signal to fiber optic connectors to be coupled to the exterior ports of the adapters of the adapter block.

Claim (Index 1):
A fiber optic cassette comprising:\n a housing including a base portion and a removable cover portion cooperatively defining an enclosed interior, the base portion defining an open front extending between a first sidewall and a second sidewall and an opposite rear, the first sidewall transitioning into a first curved rear wall portion and the second sidewall transitioning into a second curved rear wall portion, the first and second curved rear wall portions defining an adapter mount formed via at least one pocket positioned between the first and second rear wall portions; a fiber optic signal entry location defined by at least one MPO format fiber optic adapter positioned within the at least one pocket of the adapter mount, the MPO format fiber optic adapter defining an exterior port and an interior port, wherein the fiber optic signal entry location allows a fiber optic signal to enter the interior of the cassette via a fiber optic cable connectorized by an MPO format fiber optic connector mated to the exterior port of the MPO format fiber optic adapter; an adapter block defining a plurality of second fiber optic adapters, the adapter block removably mounted to the base portion via a first snap-fit interlock structure to close the open front, each second fiber optic adapter of the block including an exterior port and an interior port which allow mating of fiber optic connectors that are mounted to the interior and exterior ports, respectively; and at least one MPO format fiber optic connector mated to the interior port of the MPO format fiber optic adapter and terminating a plurality of optical fibers that are terminated at opposite ends with fiber optic connectors that are mated to the interior ports of the second fiber optic adapters of the adapter block, wherein each of the optical fibers extending from the fiber optic signal entry location to the interior ports of the second fiber optic adapters are the same length and relay the fiber optic signal to fiber optic connectors to be coupled to the exterior ports of the second fiber optic adapters of the adapter block.
