Abstract
A fiber optic distribution assembly includes a plurality of fiber optic connectors, each having a plurality of ports arranged in the same predetermined port configuration. The predetermined port configuration has a plurality of port positions. Each of a group of N first optical fibers is optically connected to a first (e.g., input) fiber optic connector at port positions 1 through N of the predetermined port configuration, to support a group of N drop connections. A plurality of M second optical fibers is connected between ports (N+1) through (M+N) of the first fiber optic connector and ports 1 through M of a second (e.g., lateral) fiber optic connector. A plurality of P third optical fibers is connected between ports (M+N+1) through (M+N+P) of the first fiber optic connector and ports 1 through P of a third (e.g., distribution) fiber optic connector.
