Abstract
An optical fiber cable assembly has a first end portion of each of a plurality of optical fibers positioned in a generally parallel first array and a second end portion of each of the plurality of optical fibers is positioned in a generally parallel second array. Optical fibers along a portion of the length spaced from the first and second end portions are not retained in a parallel array. A coating is applied to at least a section of each optical fiber. A generally planar carrier of an optical assembly has a first guide member and a second guide member with a first cable assembly disposed within the first guide member and a second cable assembly disposed within the second guide member. Connectors of the cable assemblies are spaced from the carrier. A securement structure retains the cable assemblies within the guide members.
