ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic gasket includes one or more apertures to individually retain optical fibers from one or more fiber optic cards positioned within an enclosure. A slit within the fiber optic gasket associated with each aperture facilitates placement of an optical fiber within an aperture. The fiber optic gasket includes a layer of conductive material for electromagnetic interference protection. When installed in the enclosure, the fiber optic gasket comes in contact with a door that is removably connected to the enclosure. An electro-magnetic interference shield is provided at the interface between the door and the fiber optic gasket. Optical fibers can extend out of the enclosure without causing harmful electromagnetic energy from leaving or entering the enclosure.
