Abstract:
A connectorized fiber optic cabling assembly includes a loose tube fiber optic cable and a connector assembly. The cable has a termination end and includes: an optical fiber bundle including a plurality of optical fibers; at least one strength member; and a jacket surrounding the optical fiber bundle and the at least one strength member. The connector assembly includes a rigid portion and defines a fiber passage. The connector assembly is mounted on the termination end of the cable such that the optical fiber bundle extends through at least a portion of the fiber passage. The plurality of optical fibers of the optical fiber bundle have a ribbonized configuration in the rigid portion of the connector assembly and a loose, non-ribbonized configuration outside the rigid portion. The plurality of optical fibers undergo a transition from the ribbonized configuration to the loose, non-ribbonized configuration in the rigid portion of the connector assembly. According to some embodiments, the rigid portion of the connector assembly includes a rigid connector housing.

Claim (Index 1):
A connectorized fiber optic cabling assembly comprising:\n a fiber optic cable that includes:\n a plurality of non-ribbonized optical fibers; \n a plurality of strength yarns; and \n a cable jacket that surrounds the a plurality of strength yarns and the plurality of optical fibers; and \n a connector assembly mounted on a first end of the fiber optic cable, the connector assembly including:\n a connector housing that defines a fiber passage and includes a front housing and a rear housing; \n a multi-fiber ferrule mounted within the connector housing; \n a spring mounted within the connector housing rearward of the ferrule; and \n a strain relief boot extending rearwardly from the connector housing, \n wherein the plurality of optical fibers extend through the strain relief boot, the fiber passage and the spring into the ferrule, wherein the plurality of optical fibers are aligned in a row in the multi-fiber ferrule of the connector assembly, and wherein the plurality of optical fibers have a loose configuration that extends through at least a portion of the rear housing of the connector housing and also extends through the strain relief boot.
