Methods of reshaping ferrules used in optical fiber cables assemblies are disclosed. The reshaping methods reduce a core-to-ferrule concentricity error (E), which improves coupling efficiency and optical transmission. The methods include measuring a true center of the ferrule, wherein the true center is based on an outer surface of the ferrule; and reshaping at least a portion of the ferrule to change the true center of the ferrule, wherein the reshaping includes enlarging a portion of the ferrule. A variety of reshaping techniques are also disclosed.

Methods of ferrule reshaping for correcting core-to-ferrule concentricity errors, and optical fiber cable assemblies related to such methods

There is provided splice trays and splice assemblies that provide convenient access to optical fiber slack within a relatively small area or volume. Some splice trays are adapted for use with microstructured optical fibers to further reduce the size of the splice tray or splice assembly. Some splice trays provide fiber routing devices on the cover of the splice tray. The fiber routing device may be positioned on an inside surface of the cover and/or on an outside surface of the cover. The splice trays and/or splice assemblies may be used with or as fiber drop terminals used within multiple dwelling units.
