Publication number: 20210311279Abstract: An indexed cable arrangement can be installed in a re-enterable housing. The optical fibers of the cable are indexed between a first; ruggedized multi-fiber connector and a second multi-fiber connector. The second multi-fiber connector may be non-ruggedized and disposed within the housing (e.g., at an adapter) or ruggedized and disposed external of the housing (e.g., terminating a stub cable). One or more drop lines are terminated by respective non-ruggedized, single-fiber connectors disposed within the housing. In certain examples, drop lines may be split into multiple conneaorized single-fiber outputs.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2019Publication date: October 7, 2021Applicant: COMMSCOPE TECHNOLOGIES LLCInventors: Patrick Jacques Ann DIEPSTRATEN, Dean R.
