Zusammenfassung:An optical coupler and housing arrangement includes a housing portion adapted to receive an optical connector of a fiber optic cable, and further includes an optical coupler portion integrally formed with the housing portion. The optical coupler portion is adapted to transmit optical signals to and from the fiber optic cable. The optical coupler portion has a plurality of optical fibers for transmitting the optical signals. Each of the optical fibers extends from one end surface of the optical coupler portion to another end surface of the optical coupler portion. The housing portion has a recess for receiving the optical connector, with one of the end surfaces of the optical coupler portion forming a back surface of the recess.
