Abstract
Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to a method for mating a first high fiber count optic cable including a first plurality of optical fiber ribbons with a second high fiber count optic cable including a second plurality of optical fiber ribbons. The method can include: stripping a portion of the first and second high fiber count optic cables; cutting-off each of the first and second pluralities of optical fiber ribbons at different lengths such that cut ends of each of the first and second pluralities of optical fiber ribbons are staggered relative to one another; installing a first and second plurality of multi-fiber connectors respectively on the cut ends; optically coupling the first and second plurality of multi-fiber connectors; and mounting a protective sleeve over exposed portions of the first and second pluralities of optical fiber ribbons of the first and second high fiber count optic cables.
