Abstract:
A method and system connects multiple cores within one fiber, e.g., a multi-core fiber (MCF), to multiple fibers with single-cores. The single-core fibers can then be terminated by traditional envelopes, such as a single core LC envelope. A connector holds the single-core fibers into a pattern that matches a pattern of all, or a sub group, of the individual cores of the MCF. The single-core fibers may all be terminated to individual connectors to form a fanout or breakout cable. Alternatively, the single-core fibers may extend to another connector wherein the single-core fibers are regrouped into a pattern to mate with the cores of another MCF, hence forming a jumper. One or more of the single core fibers may be terminated along the length of the jumper to form a jumper with one or more tap accesses.

Claim (Index 9):
The connector system of  claim 1 , wherein said holder is a first holder and extends to an end of said ferrule, with said end of said ferrule including said end surface, and further comprising:\n a second holder formed in said ferrule and formed as a single opening or groove extending to said end of said ferrule including said end surface, wherein said second holder includes an alignment structure including one or more intersecting edges defining said second holder, as viewed in a cross section of said second holder taken perpendicular to the direction in which said second holder extends.
