Abstract
A support frame configured to provide adapter-less fiber optic connections for fiber optic cables including a connection block configured to be fixedly coupled with a main body. A front wall of the main body includes a surface configured to abut a surface of the connection block, the connection block includes a connection port configured to receive a first fiber optic connector, and the front wall of the main body includes a connection port configured to receive a second fiber optic connector. The connection port of the connection block is configured to be aligned with the connection port of the main body such that the connection block and the main body are configured to optically couple the first fiber optic connector with the second fiber optic connector, and the connection block and the main body are configured to provide an adapter-less fiber optic connection for the first and second fiber optic connectors. The connection block may be a single piece of unitary construction.
