Abstract

A fiber optic module for installation within patch panel, the fiber optic module comprising a first outer wall with a first rail profile on its outside surface, a second outer wall with a second rail profile on its outside surface, and at least one optical connector. The first outer wall and the second outer wall run parallel to each other. The at least one optical connector is arranged between the first outer wall and the second outer wall. The first rail profile and the second rail profile are complementary to each other such that the fiber optic module may be coupled to an adjacent fiber optic module, wherein the first rail profile of the fiber optic module may be coupled to the second rail profile of the adjacent fiber optic module.
