Abstract

Claims (50)

1 . An apparatus comprising:

a module base of a module;

a first module connector within the module;

a second module connector, within the module, oriented with a side of the second connector corresponding to a release mechanism of a cable connector toward an opposite side of the first module connector; and

the second module connector staggered from the first module connector.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

the second module connector staggered from the first module connector by a length exposing the release mechanism of the fiber connector.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

the first module connector within a first plurality of module connectors forming a first row of module connectors; and

the second module connector within a second plurality of module connectors forming a second row of module connectors.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cable connector connects one of a fiber optic cable and an electrical cable to the second module connector.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a restraint plate, of the module, between a first row comprising the first module connector and a second row comprising the second module connector.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a rear connector of the module.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a panel into which the module is connected.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first row comprising the first module connector and comprising a first angular offset.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second row comprising the second module connector and comprising a second angular offset, wherein the second angular offset is less than a first angular offset of a first row comprising the first module.

10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a fastening point of the module base aligning with a fastening point of a first restraint plate and with a fastening point of a second restraint plate.

11 . A method comprising:

providing a module base of a module;

providing a first module connector within the module;

orienting a second module connector, within the module, with a side of the second connector corresponding to a release of a cable connector toward an opposite side of the first module connector; and

staggering the second module connector from the first module connector.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

staggering the second module connector from the first module connector by a length exposing the release mechanism of the fiber connector.

13 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

forming a first row of module connectors from a first plurality of module connectors comprising the first module connector; and

forming a second row of module connectors from a second plurality of module connectors comprising the second module connector.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the cable connector connects one of a fiber optic cable and an electrical cable to the second module connector.

15 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

providing a restraint plate, of the module, between a first row comprising the first module connector and a second row comprising the second module connector.

16 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

providing a rear connector of the module.

17 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

connecting the module to a panel.

18 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

offsetting a first row, comprising the first module connector, with a first angular offset.

19 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

offsetting a second row, comprising the second module connector, with a second angular offset, wherein the second angular offset is less than a first angular offset of a first row comprising the first module connector.

20 . A system comprising:

a panel of a rack;

a module;

a first module connector within the module;

a second module connector, within the module, oriented with a side of the second connector corresponding to a release mechanism of a cable connector toward an opposite side of the first module connector; and

the second module connector staggered from the first module connector by a length exposing the release mechanism of the fiber connector.
