Abstract
The present disclosure relates to indexing cables for use in building fiber optic networks using an indexing architecture. In certain examples, fan-out structures () are used. Certain types of indexing cables have one or more branch cable sections at each end. Certain types of indexing cables have multiple interface cable sections at one or both ends. Interface multi-fiber connectors (A,B,A,B,) and branch multi-fiber connectors () terminate ends of optical lines, the ends are separated into branch and interface sets with the branch sets having fewer optical lines than the respective interface sets.
