Abstract
A low profile information outlet (1), suitable for mounting to a wall or floor, provides for connections to multiple connector styles and media types while maintaining appropriate minimum bend radii. A connectorized fiber optic cable (30) enters the housing (3) via cable entrance (7) and plugs into fiber optic receptacle (13). Fiber optic receptacle (13) snaps into a flange retention member (9). Connectorized copper cable (33) plugs into a recessed connector well (14) at an angle. The receptacles (13,25) and exterior connectors (45,48) are protected by the low profile housing (3) and the mounting surface (29). All cables (31,33) exit the housing (3) parallel to the mounting surface (29) to dress along the wall or floor.
