Abstract:
A fiber optic lane changer includes a first and a second connector. A plurality of lane changer transmission paths include first ends received within the first connector and second ends received within the second connector. The first ends are arranged in respective ones of a first subset of a plurality of optical interface positions in a standardized connector configuration, and the second ends are arranged in respective ones of a second subset of the plurality of positions. In certain embodiments, the plurality of lane changer transmission paths have first ends that are aligned to optically couple with respective ones of the eight outermost optical transmission paths of the first connector. At least one of the lane changer transmission paths may have a second end that is aligned to optically couple with one of the four innermost optical transmission paths of the second connector.

Claim (Index 10):
A fiber optic lane changer for use with a fiber optic trunk cable having a first optical fiber and a second optical fiber that have respective first ends that are arranged in respective first and second positions of a first linear array, the fiber optic lane changer comprising:\n a first lane changer transmission path that has a first end that is positioned to optically couple with the first end of the first optical fiber and a second end that is arranged in a first position of a second linear array; and a second lane changer transmission path that has a first end that is positioned to optically couple with the first end of the second optical fiber and a second end that is arranged in the second position of the second linear array, wherein a first distance between the first and second positions of the first linear array is different than a second distance between the first and second positions of the second linear array.
