Abstract
A fiber optic system is provided including a first and second fiber optic assembly, each comprising a body defining a fiber routing volume and a plurality of fiber optic components disposed on the body. The first fiber optic assembly includes a first plurality of optical filters disposed within the first fiber routing volume. The first plurality of optical filters define a first plurality of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) channels, test channels, an express port, and an upgrade port. A second plurality of optical filters disposed within the second fiber routing volume. The second plurality of optical filters define a second group comprising a second plurality of DWDM channels. The test channels and the express port of the first fiber optic assembly are utilized for both the first fiber optic assembly and the second fiber optic assembly.
