Abstract
A fiber optic module housing (10) has a plurality of module seats (12a) for receipt of fiber optic modules (16) having a connector portion extending through a connector opening (12b) of a front wall of the housing. A pressure bar (14i) is integrally connected to the cover (14) through hinges (14h) and is movable to depress a locking arm (16b) of the connectors. A hole (12h) is provided in the back wall of base (12) in alignment with each module seat for a straight test configuration and posts (12j) are provided in a recess (12d) of the base for a loop test configuration. In one embodiment the connector openings are aligned in a straight line and in another they are aligned in a stepped configuration.
