ABSTRACT:
A patch unit is disclosed for use in a fiber optic distribution system or the like for selectively providing user access to one or more optical fibers while maintaining continuity in remaining optical fibers. The patch unit includes first and second fanouts for respectively receiving and separating opposite ends of the plurality of optical fibers, optical fiber connectors each including first and second opposed ports for respectively receiving optical fibers and establishing communication access therebetween, the fibers from both fanouts being arranged in the first ports of the connectors, the second ports of the connectors being disposed in accessible alignment for facilitating selectively arrangement therein of user fibers for establishing communication access with selected fibers from the fanouts, the second ports associated with remaining fibers from the fanouts being interconnected with each other by jumper fibers for maintaining continuity for those fibers through the patch unit. Additional fibers are interconnected by splices in a splice chamber associated with the patch unit, both the patch unit and splice chamber being enclosed by a cover and arranged in an outer housing or splice case in order to provide protection for the entire assembly.
