An optical splitter module for splitting an input signal from an input optical fiber is provided. The optical splitter module includes the input optical fiber, output optical fibers, and a splitter device configured to split the input signal from the input optical fiber into a plurality of output signals that are each directed into one of the output optical fibers. The optical splitter module also includes a fanout device defining openings that are each configured to receive one of the output optical fibers. The optical splitter module defines an internal volume and an exit cavity. The input optical fiber, the output optical fibers, the splitter device, and the fanout device are each received in the internal volume. The fanout device defines a side length, the exit cavity defines a width, and the side length of the fanout device is greater than the width of the exit cavity.
