| 20090245736 | Connector attachment to a low height profile module - A connector attachment to a low height module is described that has a lid configured with an attached spring extension that is substantially planar to the lid. At the end of the spring extension is a spring or compressing mechanism that fits over an external mechanically transferable (MT) ferrule, the ferrule being connected to a ribbon of fibers or communication lines. The external ferrule is fitted to a side of the low height profile module that has an opening to couple the communication lines to the interior/devices in the module. The connector attachment is secured to the module via screws, for example. The combination of the lid with the spring extension and spring/compressing mechanism provides for a very elegant low profile connector assembly that allows communication lines to be more robustly attached to the module than currently practiced and also preserves the overall height of the low height profile module. | 10-01-2009 |
