ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber connection unit has an aperture for mounting to a standard electrical box so that the unit can replace an electrical outlet (power or tele-communications). The unit has a peripheral wall having flanges for easy retention of optical fibers within the unit prior to affixing a cover plate. The cover plate and peripheral wall have discontinuities for passage of optical fibers at the bottom of the unit to connect to optical modules therein. The cover plate has an aperture to allow a standard electrical module to be mounted thereto for provision of both optical and electrical connection.
