Abstract
An optical line interface assembly for insertion in a slot of a communications equipment rack includes a board having serial interfaces formed to couple to optical interface modules. The interface assembly also includes optical interface modules removably coupled to the serial interfaces to permit replacement of selected optical interface modules while the remaining optical interface modules remain coupled to optical signal lines.
