Abstract
A fiber optic apparatus comprising a fiber optic equipment and a routing region at the fiber optic equipment is disclosed. At least 98 optical fibers, at least 434 optical fibers, at least 866 optical fibers, and at least 1152 optical fibers route in the routing region per 1-U shelf space, wherein a maximum 10−12 bit-error-rate and 0.75 dB attenuation is maintained per duplex optical signal carried by the optical fibers. Additionally, the routing region may be configured such that one or more of the optical fibers make a maximum of one bend in the routing region and route generally horizontally in the routing region. One or more of the optical fibers may be terminated simplex, duplex fiber or multiple fiber optic connectors.
