Abstract
A modular connector having multiple ports, comprising a housing having a first end and a second end, a first optical port on the first end, a second optical port on the first end, a third optical port on the second end, a fiber bragg grating (FBG) within the housing optically connected to the first port, said FBG configured to reflect a set wavelength back and away from the first port, a coupler within the housing optically connected to the FBG, the second port, and the third port; and wherein each of said optical ports, once connected, is capable of supporting the housing without additional support.
