Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/218,880 filed on Jun. 19, 2009, the entire contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
- 1. Field of the Disclosure
- The technology of the disclosure relates to fiber optic connection density and bandwidth provided in fiber optic apparatuses and equipment.
- 2. Technical Background
- Benefits of optical fiber include extremely wide bandwidth and low noise operation. Because of these advantages, optical fiber is increasingly being used for a variety of applications, including but not limited to broadband voice, video, and data transmission. Fiber optic networks employing optical fiber are being developed and used to deliver voice, video, and data transmissions to subscribers over both private and public networks. These fiber optic networks often include separated connection points linking optical fibers to provide “live fiber” from one connection point to another connection point. In this regard, fiber optic equipment is located in data distribution centers or central offices to support interconnections. For example, the fiber optic equipment can support interconnections between servers, storage area networks (SANs), and other equipment at data centers. Interconnections may be supported by fiber optic patch panels or modules.
- The fiber optic equipment is customized based on the application and connection bandwidth needs. The fiber optic equipment is typically included in housings that are mounted in equipment racks to optimize use of space. The data rates that can be provided by equipment in a data center are governed by the connection bandwidth supported by the fiber optic equipment. The bandwidth is governed by the number of optical fiber ports included in the fiber optic equipment and the data rate capabilities of a transceiver connected to the optical fiber ports. When additional bandwidth is needed or desired, additional fiber optic equipment can be employed or scaled in the data center to increase optical fiber port count. However, increasing the number of optical fiber ports can require more equipment rack space in a data center. Providing additional space for fiber optic equipment increases costs. A need exists to provide fiber optic equipment that provides a foundation in data centers for migration to high density patch fields and ports and greater connection bandwidth capacity to provide a migration path to higher data rates while minimizing the space needed for such fiber optic equipment.
- Embodiments disclosed in the detailed description include high-density and connection bandwidth fiber optic apparatuses and related equipment and methods. In certain embodiments, fiber optic apparatuses comprising a chassis are provided. the chassis may be configured to support a fiber optic connection density of at least ninety-eight (98), at least one hundred twenty (120) per U space, or at least one hundred forty-four (144) fiber optic connections per U space based on using at least one simplex or duplex fiber optic component. In other disclosed embodiments, the chassis may be configured to support a fiber optic connection density of at least four hundred thirty-four (434) or at least five hundred seventy-six (576) fiber optic connections per U space based on using at least one twelve (12) fiber, fiber optic component. In other disclosed embodiments, the at least one of the chassis may be configured to support a fiber optic connection density of at least eight hundred sixty-six (866) per U space or at least one thousand one hundred fifty-two (1152) fiber optic connections per U space based on using at least one twenty-four (24) fiber, fiber optic component. Methods of providing and supporting the aforementioned fiber optic connections densities are also provided.
- In other embodiments, fiber optic apparatuses comprising a chassis may be configured to support a full-duplex connection bandwidth of at least nine hundred sixty-two (962) Gigabits per second per U space, at least one thousand two hundred (1200) Gigabits per second, or at least one thousand four hundred forty (1440) Gigabits per second per U space based on using at least one simplex or duplex fiber optic component. In other disclosed embodiments, the chassis may be configured to support a full-duplex connection bandwidth of at least four thousand three hundred twenty-two (4322) Gigabits per second per U space, at least four thousand eight hundred (4800) Gigabits per second, or at least five thousand seven hundred sixty (5760) Gigabits per second per U space based on using at least one twelve (12) fiber, fiber optic component. In another disclosed embodiment, the chassis may be configured to support a full-duplex connection bandwidth of at least eight thousand six hundred forty-two (8642) Gigabits per second per U space. Methods of providing and supporting the aforementioned fiber optic connection bandwidths are also provided.
- Additional features and advantages will be set forth in the detailed description which follows, and in part will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from that description or recognized by practicing the invention as described herein, including the detailed description that follows, the claims, as well as the appended drawings.

In this manner, fiber optic components can be installed in a given percentage or area of the front side of the fiber optic module to provide a high density of fiber optic connections for a given fiber optic component type(s). In another embodiment, the front openings of the fiber optic modules and/or fiber optic module housings can be provided to support a designed connection density of fiber optic components or connections for a given width and/or height of the front opening of the fiber optic module and/or fiber optic module housing. Embodiments disclosed in the detailed description also include high connection density and bandwidth fiber optic apparatuses and related equipment. In certain embodiments, fiber optic apparatuses are provided and comprise a chassis defining one or more U space fiber optic equipment units, wherein at least one of the one or more U space fiber optic equipment units is configured to support a given fiber optic connection density or bandwidth in a 1-U space, and for a given fiber optic component type(s).
- In this regard,
FIG. 1 illustrates exemplary 1-U size fiber optic equipment 10 from a front perspective view. The fiber optic equipment 10 supports high-density fiber optic modules that support a high fiber optic connection density and bandwidth in a 1-U space, as will be described in greater detail below. The fiber optic equipment 10 may be provided at a data distribution center or central office to support cable-to-cable fiber optic connections and to manage a plurality of fiber optic cable connections. As will be described in greater detail below, the fiber optic equipment 10 has one or more fiber optic equipment trays that each support one or more fiber optic modules. However, the fiber optic equipment 10 could also be adapted to support one or more fiber optic patch panels or other fiber optic equipment that supports fiber optic components and connectivity. - The fiber optic equipment 10 includes a fiber optic equipment chassis 12 (“chassis 12”). The chassis 12 is shown as being installed in a fiber optic equipment rack 14. The fiber optic equipment rack 14 contains two vertical rails 16A, 16B that extend vertically and include a series of apertures 18 for facilitating attachment of the chassis 12 inside the fiber optic equipment rack 14. The chassis 12 is attached and supported by the fiber optic equipment rack 14 in the form of shelves that are stacked on top of each other within the vertical rails 16A, 16B. As illustrated, the chassis 12 is attached to the vertical rails 16A, 16B. The fiber optic equipment rack 14 may support 1-U-sized shelves, with “U” equal to a standard 1.75 inches in height and nineteen (19) inches in width. In certain applications, the width of “U” may be twenty-three (23) inches. Also, the term fiber optic equipment rack 14 should be understood to include structures that are cabinets as well. In this embodiment, the chassis 12 is 1-U in size; however, the chassis 12 could be provided in a size greater than 1-U as well.
- As will be discussed in greater detail later below, the fiber optic equipment 10 includes a plurality of extendable fiber optic equipment trays 20 that each carries one or more fiber optic modules 22. The chassis 12 and fiber optic equipment trays 20 support fiber optic modules 22 that support high-density fiber optic modules and a fiber optic connection density and bandwidth connections in a given space, including in a 1-U space.
FIG. 1 shows exemplary fiber optic components 23 disposed in the fiber optic modules 22 that support fiber optic connections. For example, the fiber optic components 23 may be fiber optic adapters or fiber optic connectors. As will also be discussed in greater detail later below, the fiber optic modules 22 in this embodiment can be provided such that the fiber optic components 23 can be disposed through at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the width of the front side or face of the fiber optic module 22, as an example. This fiber optic module 22 configuration may provide a front opening of approximately 90 millimeters (mm) or less wherein fiber optic components can be disposed through the front opening and at a fiber optic connection density of at least one fiber optic connection per 7.0 mm of width of the front opening of the fiber optic modules 22 for simplex or duplex fiber optic components 23. In this example, six (6) duplex or twelve (12) simplex fiber optic components may be installed in each fiber optic module 22. The fiber optic equipment trays 20 in this embodiment support up to four (4) of the fiber optic modules 22 in approximately the width of a 1-U space, and three (3) fiber optic equipment trays 20 in the height of a 1-U space for a total of twelve (12) fiber optic modules 22 in a 1-U space. Thus, for example, if six (6) duplex fiber optic components were disposed in each of the twelve (12) fiber optic modules 22 installed in fiber optic equipment trays 20 of the chassis 12 as illustrated inFIG. 1 , a total of one hundred forty-four (144) fiber optic connections, or seventy-two (72) duplex channels (i.e., transmit and receive channels), would be supported by the chassis 12 in a 1-U space. If five (5) duplex fiber optic adapters are disposed in each of the twelve (12) fiber optic modules 22 installed in fiber optic equipment trays 20 of the chassis 12, a total of one hundred twenty (120) fiber optic connections, or sixty (60) duplex channels, would be supported by the chassis 12 in a 1-U space. The chassis 12 also supports at least ninety-eight (98) fiber optic components in a 1-U space wherein at least one of the fiber optic components is a simplex or duplex fiber optic component. - If multi-fiber fiber optic components were installed in the fiber optic modules 22, such as MPO components for example, higher fiber optic connection density and bandwidths would be possible over other chassis 12 that use similar fiber optic components. For example, if up to four (4) twelve (12) fiber MPO fiber optic components were disposed in each fiber optic module 22, and twelve (12) of the fiber optic modules 22 were disposed in the chassis 12 in a 1-U space, the chassis 12 would support up to five hundred seventy-six (576) fiber optic connections in a 1-U space. If up to four (4) twenty-four (24) fiber MPO fiber optic components were disposed in each fiber optic module 22, and twelve (12) of the fiber optic modules 22 were disposed in the chassis 12, up to one thousand one hundred fifty-two (1152) fiber optic connections in a 1-U space.
-
FIG. 2 is a rear perspective close-up view of the chassis 12 ofFIG. 1 with fiber optic modules 22 loaded with fiber optic components 23 and installed in fiber optic equipment trays 20 installed in the chassis 12. Module rails 28A, 28B are disposed on each side of each fiber optic module 22. The module rails 28A, 28B are configured to be inserted within tray channels 30 of module rail guides 32 disposed in the fiber optic equipment tray 20, as illustrated in more detail inFIGS. 3-5 . Note that any number of module rail guides 32 can be provided. The fiber optic module 22 can be installed from both a front end 34 and a rear end 36 of the fiber optic equipment tray 20 in this embodiment. If it is desired to install the fiber optic module 22 in the fiber optic equipment tray 20 from the rear end 36, a front end 33 of the fiber optic module 22 can be inserted from the rear end 36 of the fiber optic equipment tray 20. More specifically, the front end 33 of the fiber optic module 22 is inserted into the tray channels 30 of the module rail guides 32. The fiber optic module 22 can then be pushed forward within the tray channels 30 until the fiber optic module 22 reaches the front end 34 of the module rail guides 32. The fiber optic modules 22 can be moved towards the front end 34 until the fiber optic modules 22 reach a stop or locking feature disposed in the front end 34 as will described later in this application.FIG. 6 also illustrates the fiber optic equipment tray 20 without installed fiber optic modules 22 to illustrate the tray channels 30 and other features of the fiber optic equipment tray 20. - The fiber optic module 22 can be locked into place in the fiber optic equipment tray 20 by pushing the fiber optic module 22 forward to the front end 33 of the fiber optic equipment tray 20. A locking feature in the form of a front stop 38 is disposed in the module rail guides 32, as illustrated in
FIG. 3 and in more detail in the close-up view inFIG. 4 . The front stop 38 prevents the fiber optic module 22 from extending beyond the front end 34, as illustrated in the close-up view of the fiber optic equipment tray 20 with installed fiber optic modules 22 inFIG. 5 . When it is desired to remove a fiber optic module 22 from the fiber optic equipment tray 20, a front module tab 40 also disposed in the module rail guides 32 and coupled to the front stop 38 can be pushed downward to engage the front stop 38. As a result, the front stop 38 will move outward away from the fiber optic module 22 such that the fiber optic module 22 is not obstructed from being pulled forward. The fiber optic module 22, and in particular its module rails 28A, 28B (FIG. 2 ), can be pulled forward along the module rail guides 32 to remove the fiber optic module 22 from the fiber optic equipment tray 20. - The fiber optic module 22 can also be removed from the rear end 36 of the fiber optic equipment tray 20. To remove the fiber optic module 22 from the rear end 36 of the fiber optic equipment tray 20, a latch 44 is disengaged by pushing a lever 46 (see
FIGS. 2 and 3 ; see also,FIGS. 10A and 10B ) inward towards the fiber optic module 22 to release the latch 44 from the module rail guide 32. To facilitate pushing the lever 46 inward towards the fiber optic module 22, a finger hook 48 is provided adjacent to the lever 46 so the lever 46 can easily be squeezed into the finger hook 48 by a thumb and index finger. - With continuing reference to
FIG. 3-6 , the fiber optic equipment tray 20 may also contain extension members 50. Routing guides 52 may be conveniently disposed on the extension members 50 to provide routing for optical fibers or fiber optic cables connected to fiber optic components 23 disposed in the fiber optic modules 22 (FIG. 3 ). The routing guides 52′ on the ends of the fiber optic equipment tray 20 may be angled with respect to the module rail guides 32 to route optical fibers or fiber optic cables at an angle to the sides of the fiber optic equipment tray 20. Pull tabs 54 may also be connected to the extension members 50 to provide a means to allow the fiber optic equipment tray 20 to easily be pulled out from and pushed into the chassis 12. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 3 and 6 , the fiber optic equipment tray 20 also contains tray rails 56. The tray rails 56 are configured to be received in tray guides 58 disposed in the chassis 12 to retain and allow the fiber optic equipment trays 20 to move in and out of the chassis 12, as illustrated inFIG. 7 . More detail regarding the tray rails 56 and their coupling to the tray guides 58 in the chassis 12 is discussed below with regard to FIGS. 8 and 9A-9B. The fiber optic equipment trays 20 can be moved in and out of the chassis 12 by their tray rails 56 moving within the tray guides 58. In this manner, the fiber optic equipment trays 20 can be independently movable about the tray guides 58 in the chassis 12.FIG. 7 illustrates a front perspective view of one fiber optic equipment tray 20 pulled out from the chassis 12 among three (3) fiber optic equipment trays 20 disposed within the tray guides 58 of the chassis 12. The tray guides 58 may be disposed on both a left side end 60 and a right side end 62 of the fiber optic equipment tray 20. The tray guides 58 are installed opposite and facing each other in the chassis 12 to provide complementary tray guides 58 for the tray rails 56 of the fiber optic equipment trays 20 received therein. If it is desired to access a particular fiber optic equipment tray 20 and/or a particular fiber optic module 22 in a fiber optic equipment tray 20, the pull tab 54 of the desired fiber optic equipment tray 20 can be pulled forward to cause the fiber optic equipment tray 20 to extend forward out from the chassis 12, as illustrated inFIG. 7 . The fiber optic module 22 can be removed from the fiber optic equipment tray 20 as previously discussed. When access is completed, the fiber optic equipment tray 20 can be pushed back into the chassis 12 wherein the tray rails 56 move within the tray guides 58 disposed in the chassis 12. -
FIG. 8 is a left perspective view of an exemplary tray guide 58 disposed in the chassis 12 ofFIG. 1 . As discussed above, the tray guides 58 are configured to receive fiber optic equipment trays 20 supporting one or more fiber optic modules 22 in the chassis 12. The tray guides 58 allow the fiber optic equipment trays 20 to be pulled out from the chassis 12, as illustrated inFIG. 7 . The tray guide 58 in this embodiment is comprised of a guide panel 64. The guide panel 64 may be constructed out of any material desired, including but not limited to a polymer or metal. The guide panel 64 contains a series of apertures 66 to facilitate attachment of the guide panel 64 to the chassis 12, as illustrated inFIG. 8 . Guide members 68 are disposed in the guide panel 64 and configured to receive the tray rail 56 of the fiber optic equipment tray 20. Three (3) guide members 68 are disposed in the guide panel 64 in the embodiment ofFIG. 8 to be capable of receiving up to three (3) tray rails 56 of three (3) fiber optic equipment trays 20 in a 1-U space. However, any number of guide members 68 desired may be provided in the tray guide 58 to cover sizes less than or greater than a 1-U space. In this embodiment, the guide members 68 each include guide channels 70 configured to receive and allow tray rails 56 to move along the guide channels 70 for translation of the fiber optic equipment trays 20 about the chassis 12. - Leaf springs 72 are disposed in each of the guide members 68 of the tray guide 58 and are each configured to provide stopping positions for the tray rails 56 during movement of the fiber optic equipment tray 20 in the guide members 68. The leaf springs 72 each contain detents 74 that are configured to receive protrusions 76 (
FIG. 9A-9D ) disposed in the tray rails 56 to provide stopping or resting positions. The tray rails 56 contain mounting platforms 75 that are used to attach the tray rails 56 to the fiber optic equipment trays 20. It may be desirable to provide stopping positions in the tray guide 56 to allow the fiber optic equipment trays 20 to have stopping positions when moved in and out of the chassis 12. Two (2) protrusions 76 in the tray rail 56 are disposed in two (2) detents 74 in the tray guide 58 at any given time. When the fiber optic equipment tray 20 is fully retracted into the chassis 12 in a first stopping position, the two (2) protrusions 76 of the tray rail 56 are disposed in the one detent 74 adjacent a rear end 77 of the guide channel 70 and the middle detent 74 disposed between the rear end 77 and a front end 78 of the guide channel 70. When the fiber optic equipment tray 20 is pulled out from the chassis 12, the two (2) protrusions 76 of the tray rail 56 are disposed in the one detent 74 adjacent the front end 78 of the guide channel 70 and the middle detent 74 disposed between the rear end 77 and the front end 78 of the guide channel 70. - As the tray rail 56 is pulled within the guide channel 70, a protrusion 80 disposed in the tray rail 56 and illustrated in
FIGS. 9A and 9B is biased to pass over transition members 82 disposed between the leaf springs 72, as illustrated inFIG. 8 . The protrusion 80 is provided in a leaf spring 81 disposed in the tray rail 56, as illustrated inFIGS. 9A and 9B . The transition members 82 have inclined surfaces 84 that allow the protrusion 80 to pass over the transition members 82 as the fiber optic equipment tray 20 is being translated with the guide channel 70. As the protrusion 80 contains the transition members 82, the force imparted onto the protrusion 80 causes the leaf spring 81 to bend inward to allow the protrusion 80 to pass over the transition member 82. To prevent the tray rail 56 and thus the fiber optic equipment tray 20 from being extended beyond the front end 78 and rear end 77 of the guide channel 70, stopping members 86 are disposed at the front end 78 and rear end 77 of the guide channel 70. The stopping members 86 do not have an inclined surface; thus the protrusion 80 in the tray rail 56 abuts against the stopping member 86 and is prevented from extending over the stopping member 86 and outside of the front end 78 of the guide channel 70. - Against the background of the above disclosed embodiment of a 1-U chassis 12 and fiber optic equipment trays 20 and fiber optic modules 22 that can installed therein, the form factor of the fiber optic module 22 will now be described. The form factor of the fiber optic module 22 allows a high density of fiber optic components 23 to be disposed within a certain percentage area of the front of the fiber optic module 22 thus supporting a particular fiber optic connection density and bandwidth for a given type of fiber optic component 23. When this fiber optic module 22 form factor is combined with the ability to support up to twelve (12) fiber optic modules 22 in a 1-U space, as described by the exemplary chassis 12 example above, a higher fiber optic connection density and bandwidth is supported and possible.
- In this regard,
FIGS. 10A and 10B are right and left perspective views of the exemplary fiber optic module 22. As discussed above, the fiber optic module 22 can be installed in the fiber optic equipment trays 20 to provide fiber optic connections in the chassis 12. The fiber optic module 22 is comprised of a main body 90 receiving a cover 92. An internal chamber 94 (FIG. 11 ) disposed inside the main body 90 and the cover 92 and is configured to receive or retain optical fibers or a fiber optic cable harness, as will be described in more detail below. The main body 90 is disposed between a front side 96 and a rear side 98 of the main body 90. Fiber optic components 23 can be disposed through the front side 96 of the main body 90 and configured to receive fiber optic connectors connected to fiber optic cables (not shown). In this example, the fiber optic components 23 are duplex LC fiber optic adapters that are configured to receive and support connections with duplex LC fiber optic connectors. However, any fiber optic connection type desired can be provided in the fiber optic module 22. The fiber optic components 23 are connected to a fiber optic component 100 disposed through the rear side 98 of the main body 90. In this manner, a connection to the fiber optic component 23 creates a fiber optic connection to the fiber optic component 100. In this example, the fiber optic component 100 is a multi-fiber MPO fiber optic adapter equipped to establish connections to multiple optical fibers (e.g., either twelve (12) or twenty-four (24) optical fibers). The fiber optic module 22 may also manage polarity between the fiber optic components 23, 100. - The module rails 28A, 28B are disposed on each side 102A, 102B of the fiber optic module 22. As previously discussed, the module rails 28A, 28B are configured to be inserted within the module rail guides 32 in the fiber optic equipment tray 20, as illustrated in
FIG. 3 . In this manner, when it is desired to install a fiber optic module 22 in the fiber optic equipment tray 20, the front side 96 of the fiber optic module 22 can be inserted from either the front end 33 or the rear end 36 of the fiber optic equipment tray 20, as previously discussed. -
FIG. 11 illustrates the fiber optic module 22 in an exploded view with the cover 92 of the fiber optic module 22 removed to illustrate the internal chamber 94 and other internal components of the fiber optic module 22.FIG. 12 illustrates the fiber optic module 22 assembled, but without the cover 92 installed on the main body 90. The cover 92 includes notches 106 disposed in sides 108, 110 that are configured to interlock with protrusions 112 disposed on the sides 102A, 102B of the main body 90 of the fiber optic modules 22 when the cover 92 is attached to the main body 90 to secure the cover 92 to the main body 90. The cover 92 also contains notches 114, 116 disposed on a front side 118 and rear side 120, respectively, of the cover 92. The notches 114, 116 are configured to interlock with protrusions 122, 124 disposed in the front side 96 and the rear end 98, respectively, of the main body 90 when the cover 92 is attached to the main body 90 to also secure the cover 92 to the main body 90.FIG. 12 does not show protrusions 122, 124. - With continuing reference to
FIG. 11 , the fiber optic components 23 are disposed through a front opening 126 disposed along a longitudinal axis L1 in the front side 96 of the main body 90. In this embodiment, the fiber optic components 23 are duplex LC adapters 128, which support single or duplex fiber connections and connectors. The duplex LC adapters 128 in this embodiment contain protrusions 130 that are configured to engage with orifices 135 disposed on the main body 90 to secure the duplex LC adapters 128 in the main body 90 in this embodiment. A cable harness 134 is disposed in the internal chamber 94 with fiber optic connectors 136, 138 disposed on each end of optical fibers 139 connected to the duplex LC adapters 128 and the fiber optic component 100 disposed in the rear side 98 of the main body 90. The fiber optic component 100 in this embodiment is a twelve (12) fiber MPO fiber optic adapter 140 in this embodiment. Two vertical members 142A, 142B are disposed in the internal chamber 94 of the main body 90, as illustrated inFIG. 12 , to retain the looping of the optical fibers 139 of the cable harness 134. The vertical members 142A, 142B and the distance therebetween are designed to provide a bend radius R in the optical fibers 139 no greater than forty (40) mm and preferably twenty-five (25) mm or lessin this embodiment. -
FIG. 13 illustrates a front view of the fiber optic module 22 without loaded fiber optic components 23 in the front side 96 to further illustrate the form factor of the fiber optic module 22. As previously discussed, the front opening 126 is disposed through the front side 96 of the main body 90 to receive the fiber optic components 23. The greater the width W1 of the front opening 126, the greater the number of fiber optic components 23 that may be disposed in the fiber optic module 22. Greater numbers of fiber optic components 23 equates to more fiber optic connections, which supports higher fiber optic connectivity and bandwidth. However, the larger the width W1 of the front opening 126, the greater the area required to be provided in the chassis 12 for the fiber optic module 22. Thus, in this embodiment, the width W1 of the front opening 126 is design to be at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the width W2 of the front side 96 of the main body 90 of the fiber optic module 22. The greater the percentage of the width W1 to width W2, the larger the area provided in the front opening 126 to receive fiber optic components 23 without increasing width W2. Width W3, the overall width of the fiber optic module 22, may be 86.6 mm or 3.5 inches in this embodiment. The overall depth D1 of the fiber optic module 22 is 113.9 mm or 4.5 inches in this embodiment (FIG. 12 ). As previously discussed, the fiber optic module 22 is designed such that four (4) fiber optic modules 22 can be disposed in a 1-U width space in the fiber optic equipment tray 20 in the chassis 12. The width of the chassis 12 is designed to accommodate a 1-U space width in this embodiment. - With three (3) fiber optic equipment trays 20 disposed in the 1-U height of the chassis 12, a total of twelve (12) fiber optic modules 22 can be supported in a given 1-U space. Supporting up to twelve (12) fiber optic connections per fiber optic module 22 as illustrated in the chassis 12 in
FIG. 1 equates to the chassis 12 supporting up to one hundred forty-four (144) fiber optic connections, or seventy-two (72) duplex channels, in a 1-U space in the chassis 12 (i.e., twelve (12) fiber optic connections×twelve (12) fiber optic modules 22 in a 1-U space). Thus, the chassis 12 is capable of supporting up to one hundred forty-four (144) fiber optic connections in a 1-U space by twelve (12) simplex or six (6) duplex fiber optic adapters being disposed in the fiber optic modules 22. Supporting up to ten (10) fiber optic connections per fiber optic module 22 equates to the chassis 12 supporting one hundred twenty (120) fiber optic connections, or sixty (60) duplex channels, in a 1-U space in the chassis 12 (i.e., ten (10) fiber optic connections×twelve (12) fiber optic modules 22 in a 1-U space). Thus, the chassis 12 is also capable of supporting up to one hundred twenty (120) fiber optic connections in a 1-U space by ten (10) simplex or five (5) duplex fiber optic adapters being disposed in the fiber optic modules 22. - This embodiment of the chassis 12 and fiber optic module 22 disclosed herein can support a fiber optic connection density within a 1-U space wherein the area occupied by the fiber optic component 23 in twelve (12) fiber optic modules 22 in a 1-U space represents at least fifty percent (50%) of the total fiber optic equipment rack 14 area in a 1-U space (see
FIG. 1 ). In the case of twelve (12) fiber optic modules 22 provided in a 1-U space in the chassis 12, the 1-U space is comprised of the fiber optic components 23 occupying at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the area of the front side 96 of the fiber optic module 22. - Two (2) duplexed optical fibers to provide one (1) transmission/reception pair can allow for a data rate of ten (10) Gigabits per second in half-duplex mode or twenty (20) Gigabits per second in full-duplex mode. Thus, with the above-described embodiment, providing at least seventy-two (72) duplex transmission and reception pairs in a 1-U space employing at least one duplex or simplex fiber optic component can support a data rate of at least seven hundred twenty (720) Gigabits per second in half-duplex mode in a 1-U space or at least one thousand four hundred forty (1440) Gigabits per second in a 1-U space in full-duplex mode if employing a ten (10) Gigabit transceiver. This configuration can also support at least six hundred (600) Gigabits per second in half-duplex mode in a 1-U space and at least one thousand two hundred (1200) Gigabits per second in full-duplex mode in a 1-U space, respectively, if employing a one hundred (100) Gigabit transceiver. This configuration can also support at least four hundred eighty (480) Gigabits per second in half-duplex mode in a 1-U space and nine hundred sixty (960) Gigabits per second in full duplex mode in a 1-U space, respectively, if employing a forty (40) Gigabit transceiver. At least sixty (60) duplex transmission and reception pairs in a 1-U space can allow for a data rate of at least six hundred (600) Gigabits per second in a 1-U space in half-duplex mode or at least one thousand two hundred (1200) Gigabits per second in a 1-U space in full-duplex mode when employing a ten (10) Gigabit transceiver. At least forty nine (49) duplex transmission and reception pairs in a 1-U space can allow for a data rate of at least four hundred eighty-one (481) Gigabits per second in half-duplex mode or at least nine hundred sixty-two (962) Gigabits per second in a 1-U space in full-duplex mode when employing a ten (10) Gigabit transceiver.
- The width W1 of front opening 126 could be designed to be greater than eighty-five percent (85%) of the width W2 of the front side 96 of the main body 90 of the fiber optic module 22. For example, the width W1 could be designed to be between ninety percent (90%) and ninety-nine percent (99%) of the width W2. As an example, the width W1 could be less than ninety (90) mm. As another example, the width W1 could be less than eighty-five (85) mm or less than eighty (80) mm. For example, the width W1 may be eighty-three (83) mm and width W2 may be eighty-five (85) mm, for a ratio of width W1 to width W2 of 97.6%. In this example, the front opening 126 may support twelve (12) fiber optic connections in the width W1 to support a fiber optic connection density of at least one fiber optic connection per 7.0 mm of width W1 of the front opening 126. Further, the front opening 126 of the fiber optic module 22 may support twelve (12) fiber optic connections in the width W1 to support a fiber optic connection density of at least one fiber optic connection per 6.9 mm of width W1 of the front opening 126.
- Further as illustrated in
FIG. 13 , height H1 of front opening 126 could be designed to be at least ninety percent (90%) of height H2 of the front side 96 of the main body 90 of the fiber optic module 22. In this manner, the front opening 126 has sufficient height to receive the fiber optic components 23, and such that three (3) fiber optic modules 22 can be disposed in a 1-U space height. As an example, height H1 could be twelve (12) mm or less or ten (10) mm or less. As an example, height H1 could be ten (10) mm and height H2 could be eleven (11) mm (or 7/16 inches), for a ratio of height H1 to width H2 of 90.9%. - Alternate fiber optic modules with alternative fiber optic connection densities are possible.
FIG. 14 is a front perspective view of an alternate fiber optic module 22′ that can be installed in the fiber optic equipment tray 20 ofFIG. 1 . The form factor of the fiber optic module 22′ is the same as the form factor of the fiber optic module 22 illustrated inFIGS. 1-13 . However, in the fiber optic module 22′ ofFIG. 14 , two (2) MPO fiber optic adapters 150 are disposed through the front opening 126 of the fiber optic module 22′. The MPO fiber optic adapters 150 are connected to two (2) MPO fiber optic adapters 152 disposed in the rear side 98 of the main body 90 of the fiber optic module 22′. Thus, if the MPO fiber optic adapters 150 each support twelve (12) fibers, the fiber optic module 22′ can support up to twenty-four (24) fiber optic connections. Thus, in this example, if up to twelve (12) fiber optic modules 22′ are provided in the fiber optic equipment trays 20 of the chassis 12, up to two hundred eighty-eight (288) fiber optic connections can be supported by the chassis 12 in a 1-U space. Further in this example, the front opening 126 of the fiber optic module 22′ may support twenty-four (24) fiber optic connections in the width W1 (FIG. 13 ) to support a fiber optic connection density of at least one fiber optic connection per 3.4-3.5 mm of width W1 of the front opening 126. It should be understood that the discussion with regard to modules may also apply to a panel. For purposes of this disclosure, a panel may have one or more adapter on one side and no adapters on the opposite side. - Thus, with the above-described embodiment, providing at least two-hundred eighty-eight (288) duplex transmission and reception pairs in a 1-U space employing at least one twelve (12) fiber MPO fiber optic components can support a data rate of at least two thousand eight hundred eighty (2880) Gigabits per second in half-duplex mode in a 1-U space or at least five thousand seven hundred sixty (5760) Gigabits per second in a 1-U space in full-duplex mode if employing a ten (10) Gigabit transceiver. This configuration can also support at least four thousand eight hundred (4800) Gigabits per second in half-duplex mode in a 1-U space and nine thousand six hundred (9600) Gigabits per second in full-duplex mode in a 1-U space, respectively, if employing a one hundred (100) Gigabit transceiver. This configuration can also support at least one thousand nine hundred twenty (1920) Gigabits per second in half-duplex mode in a 1-U space and three thousand eight hundred forty (3840) Gigabits per second in full-duplex mode in a 1-U space, respectively, if employing a forty (40) Gigabit transceiver. This configuration also supports a data rate of at least four thousand three hundred twenty-two (4322) Gigabits per second in full-duplex mode in a 1-U space when employing a ten (10) Gigabit transceiver employing at least one twelve (12) fiber MPO fiber optic component, or two thousand one hundred sixty-one (2161) Gigabits per second in full-duplex mode in a 1-U space when employing a ten (10) Gigabit transceiver employing at least one twenty-four (24) fiber MPO fiber optic component.
- If the MPO fiber optic adapters 150 in the fiber optic module 22′ support twenty-four (24) fibers, the fiber optic module 22′ can support up to forty-eight (48) fiber optic connections. Thus, in this example, if up to twelve (12) fiber optic modules 22′ are provided in the fiber optic equipment trays 20 of the chassis 12, up to five hundred seventy-six (576) fiber optic connections can be supported by the chassis 12 in a 1-U space if the fiber optic modules 22′ are disposed in the fiber optic equipment trays 20. Further, in this example, the front opening 126 of the fiber optic module 22′ may support up to forty-eight (48) fiber optic connections in the width W1 to support a fiber optic connection density of at least one fiber optic connection per 1.7 mm of width W1 of the front opening 126.

The form factor of the fiber optic module 22″ is the same as the form factor of the fiber optic module 22 illustrated inFIGS. 1-13 . However, in the fiber optic module 22″, four (4) MPO fiber optic adapters 154 are disposed through the front opening 126 of the fiber optic module 22″. The MPO fiber optic adapters 154 are connected to four (4) MPO fiber optic adapters 156 disposed in the rear end 98 of the main body 90 of the fiber optic module 22′. Thus, if the MPO fiber optic adapters 150 support twelve (12) fibers, the fiber optic module 22″ can support up to forty-eight (48) fiber optic connections. Thus, in this example, if up to twelve (12) fiber optic modules 22″ are provided in the fiber optic equipment trays 20 of the chassis 12, up to five hundred seventy-six (756) fiber optic connections can be supported by the chassis 12 in a 1-U space.

- Further, with the above-described embodiment, providing at least five hundred seventy-six (576) duplex transmission and reception pairs in a 1-U space employing at least one twenty-four (24) fiber MPO fiber optic component can support a data rate of at least five thousand seven hundred sixty (5760) Gigabits per second in half-duplex mode in a 1-U space or at least eleven thousand five hundred twenty (11520) Gigabits per second in a 1-U space in full-duplex mode if employing a ten (10) Gigabit transceiver. This configuration can also support at least four thousand eight hundred (4800) Gigabits per second in half-duplex mode in a 1-U space and at least nine thousand six hundred (9600) Gigabits per second in full-duplex mode in a 1-U space, respectively, if employing a one hundred (100) Gigabit transceiver.
