  • Device including a fiber optic cable harness and associated methods
    Patent number: 6694083
    Abstract: A device includes a housing 12, a plurality of optical components 14a, 14b within the housing, and a fiber optic cable harness 16 connected to the optical components and extending within the housing. The fiber optic cable harness 16 includes a plurality of optical fibers 20, and a plurality of respective first and second optical fiber connectors. The first optical fiber connectors terminate respective first groups of first ends of the optical fibers, and the second optical fiber connectors terminate respective second groups of second ends of the optical fibers. The first and second groups are different to define at least one cross-connection of optical fibers between the first optical fiber connectors and the second optical fiber connectors. The fiber optic cable harness may include at least one optical fiber support layer carrying the optical fibers, and a plurality of longitudinal strength members extending between the first and second optical fiber connectors.
