Abstract:
Optical connector arrangements terminate at least seventy-two optical fibers. The optical connector arrangements include multiple optical ferrules that each terminates multiple optical fibers. Some example optical connectors can terminate about 144 optical fibers. Each optical connector includes a fiber take-up arrangement and a flange extending outwardly from a connector housing arrangement. The fiber take-up arrangement manages excess length of the optical fibers. A threadable coupling nut can be disposed on the connector housing arrangement to engage the outwardly extending flange. Certain types of optical connector arrangements include furcation cables spacing the connector housing arrangement form the fiber take-up arrangement.

Claim (Index 2):
A cable assembly comprising:\n a fiber take-up arrangement extending between a first end and a second end, the fiber take-up arrangement defining an excess fiber storage region; a cable including an outer jacket surrounding an optical fiber, the cable being anchored to the fiber take-up arrangement, wherein excess length of the optical fiber is disposed at the excess fiber storage region of the fiber take-up arrangement, the optical fiber having a section that extends beyond the second end of the fiber take-up arrangement; a plug connector terminating an end of the optical fiber of the cable; and a furcation cable extending between a first end and a second end, the first end of the furcation cable being anchored to the fiber take-up arrangement, the second end of the furcation cable being anchored to the plug connector, the section of the optical fiber extending through the furcation cable to the plug connector, the furcation cable being more flexible than the cable.
