High density splitter aggregation module
View Patent ↗A module includes a plurality of splitters, a plurality of inputs, and a plurality of outputs wherein the outputs are connected to multi-fiber connectors and wherein outputs from a plurality of splitters are connected to one of the multi-fiber connectors. The splitters have outputs in multiples of eight, such as a 1×32 splitter. The multi-fiber connectors include twelve fiber cables.
1. A module comprising:
a plurality of input connector locations;
a plurality of splitters with at least one input, each input connected to one of the input connector locations, the splitters each having a plurality of outputs;
a plurality of output connector locations in the form of a plurality of multi-fiber connectors connected to the splitter outputs;
wherein at least one of the multi-fiber connectors has outputs from more than one of the plurality of splitters,
wherein the splitters have outputs with multiples of eight,
wherein the multi-fiber connectors include twelve fiber outputs from one or more of the splitters,
wherein the multi-fiber connectors are arranged in line with the splitters and are directly terminated to the outputs from the splitters, and
wherein at least one of the multi-fiber connectors has outputs from only one of the plurality of splitters.
2. The module of claim 1 , wherein the splitters are 1×32 splitters.
3. The module of claim 1 , wherein the splitters are 2×32 splitters.
4. The module of claim 1 , wherein two of the multi-fiber connectors have outputs from more than one of the plurality of splitters.
5. A module comprising:
a plurality of input connector locations;
a plurality of splitters with at least one input, each input connected to one of the input connector locations, the splitters each having a plurality of outputs;
