Abstract
A fiber optic telecommunications device (2302/2402/2502) includes a first fiber optic connection location (2308) defined on the telecommunications device (2302/2402/2502), wherein a plurality of optical fibers (2307) extends into the telecommunications device (2302/2402/2502) from the first fiber optic connection location (2308). A plurality of second fiber optic connection locations (2309) are movably disposed on the telecommunications device (2302/2402/2502). A flexible substrate (2306/2506) is positioned between the first fiber optic connection location (2308) and the plurality of second fiber optic connection locations (2309), the flexible substrate (2306/2506) rigidly supporting the plurality of optical fibers (2307) and relaying the plurality of fibers (2307) from the first fiber optic connection location (2308) to each of the second fiber optic connection locations (2309).
