Abstract
Structured multicore fiber optic cabling systems, network components, and methods of making same. The cabling system includes a multicore fiber optic cable assembly and a plurality of network components. Each cable assembly includes first and second cable connectors and a plurality of multicore optical fibers. One half of the plurality of multicore optical fibers have a first draw direction, and the other half of the plurality of multicore optical fibers have a second draw direction opposite the first draw direction. The first and second cable connectors are configured so that their end faces define a connector core pattern having mirror-image symmetry. Each network component of the cabling system includes a port connector having a port connector interface that has the connector core pattern. Core polarity is preserved between a first network component and a second network component of the plurality of network components connected by the cable assembly.
