Abstract:
A method of connectorizing a fiber optic cable comprising:arranging a plurality of optical fibers of the fiber optic cable so that a first end of each of the optical fibers is in parallel alignment and co-planar with respect to the first end of each other optical fiber; andsplicing the first ends of the plurality of optical fibers of the fiber optic cable onto a corresponding plurality of first ends of optical fiber jumpers, the first end of each of said jumpers being in parallel alignment and co-planar with respect to the first end of each other jumper so that the first ends of the jumpers are axially aligned in an end-to-end relationship with the first ends of the optical fibers of the fiber optic cable, said jumpers also having fiber optic connectors disposed upon respective second ends thereof.
