Abstract
An optical module includes an optical amplifier to amplify optical signals received over optical fiber and an access tray that slides into and out of the optical module. The access tray provides access to optical fiber connections to and from the optical amplifier. The access tray includes a housing that slides into and out of the optical module, a first connection to mate to the optical fiber coming from the amplifier, a second connection to mate to optical fiber going to the amplifier, and a door, attached to the housing, which restricts access to the first connector and the second connector when closed.
