Abstract
A pre-terminated distribution module is provided with a set of multicore fiber (MCF) connector adapters at its front end and a set of multifiber MCF connector adapters at a second end. The MCF connector adapters and multifiber MCF connector adapters are connected to each other within the module housing by means of an MCF fanout. The MCF connector adapters are configured to provide core-aligned connection for MCF jumper cables that are plugged into the front end of the module. The MCF jumper cables are configured to provide connectivity to an array of optical devices. The multifiber connector adapters are configured to provide core-aligned connectivity for multifiber MCF cables that are plugged into the back end of the module. The multifiber cables are configured to provide connectivity between the module and a trunk (backbone) cable. Further described are pre-terminated trunk (backbone) cables and pre-terminated fiber optic jumper cables (i.e., patchcords).
