ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic adapter module is disclosed. The fiber optic adapter module includes a molded one-piece housing including a first end and a second end, the housing including at least three openings extending from the first end to the second end, each opening defining a separate fiber optic adapter for interconnecting two cables terminated with fiber optic connectors. The housing is movably mounted on a fixture, wherein the module is movable relative to the fixture along a line of travel that is non-parallel to longitudinal axes of the openings. The fiber optic adapter also includes a sleeve mount mounted within each of the openings of the housing, the sleeve mount configured to be inserted into the opening in a direction extending from the first end to the second end, generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the opening.
