Abstract
An optical fiber enclosure system includes a plurality of integrated optical connector and coupler assemblies. The first optic coupler is integrated adjacent to the ferrule in the connector. In a preferred embodiment, the integrated optical connector coupler is constructed in a compact package such that when installed in the optical fiber enclosure no part of the coupler connector assembly protrudes beyond the footprint of the fiber enclosure and yet maintains an industry recommended minimum bend radius of 1.5 inches on the output cable ports thus allowing the fiber enclosure front panel to close without impinging on the cables of the assembly.
