Abstract
A high density fiber optic connector interface for an electro-optic circuit pack is disclosed. The fiber optic connector interface comprises a elongated housing having an elongated base plate and side walls, a plurality of cable connection assemblies arrayed on the elongated base plate of the housing, and a plurality of slider mechanisms mounted on the elongated base plate. Each cable connection assembly is slanted relative to longitudinal axis of the housing. All the assemblies are arrayed in a row along a line slanted relative to longitudinal axis of the housing with the neighboring assemblies being overlapped. Each cable connection assembly includes an internal cable connector, an external cable connector, an adaptor for receiving the internal and external connectors, and an adaptor holder for holding at least one adaptor. Each slider mechanism supports a respective one of cable connection assemblies so that each cable connection assembly can slidably be snapped-out away from the housing for access and slidably snapped-in into the operating position. Each cable connection assembly includes a transmission failure indicating means.
