Abstract:
An integral fan-out connector assembly for fiber optic cables includes a connector housing that provides an integrated fan-out housing and connection adapter. The fan-out connector housing may be configured with a variety of cable adapters, and may be installed as a ‘plug and play’ type solution where it will be ready to accept a feed cable for use when needed.

Claim (Index 1):
A fan-out assembly for connecting fiber optic cables of a multi-fiber optical cable to a plurality of fiber optic terminals, the assembly comprising:\n a housing defining an interior cavity therein and having a first body portion and a second body portion spaced from the first body portion; a plurality of pigtail cable segments having a first end disposed within the housing and a free end disposed away from the housing; at least one optical fiber extending through each pigtail cable segment, each optical fiber comprising a first end disposed within the interior cavity and a second end disposed at the free end of the pigtail cable segment; a first optical fiber connector collectively terminating the first ends of a plurality of the optical fibers; at least one second optical fiber connector mounted to the free end of each pigtail cable segment and terminating the second end of the at least one optical fiber of the pigtail cable segment, the second optical fiber connectors being configured to mate with the fiber optic terminals; and the housing comprising an optical fiber adapter having a first end open to the interior cavity for receiving the first optical fiber connector therein, and a second end exposed externally of the interior cavity for receiving a connector of a multi-fiber optical cable to mate the optical fibers of the multi-fiber optical cable with the first ends of the optical fibers of the pigtail cable segments.
