1. A connectorized fiber optic cabling assembly comprising:

  • a fiber optic cable that includes;

    a plurality of non-ribbonized optical fibers;

    a plurality of strength yarns; and

    a cable jacket that surrounds the a plurality of strength yarns and the plurality of optical fibers; and

    a connector assembly mounted on a first end of the fiber optic cable, the connector assembly including;
