Abstract: The present invention relates to a modular breakout device providing optical and/or electrical connection interfaces in each modular unit. The exemplary breakout device includes a housing made up of a plurality of individual compartments stacked upon each other and a cover that is attachable to the housing. The plurality of individual compartments includes a base compartment configured with a port though a wall of the base compartment that is configured to accept optical and/or electrical transmission media and a first furcation tray. The first furcation tray is disposed on top of the base compartment and the cover is disposed on top of the first furcation tray to enclose the housing. In one exemplary aspect, the breakout device has an optical connection interface and an electrical connection interface disposed in a side wall of the first furcation tray.
