1. A termination assembly comprising:
- a housing that is elongated along a length between a first end and a second end, the housing also having a plurality of walls that extend between the first end and the second end, the walls being angled relative to each other to face in different directions;
a cable input port disposed at the first end of the housing, the cable input port facing in a first direction that is parallel with the length of the housing;
a first row of termination ports disposed along a first of the walls, the first row extending along the length of the housing, the termination ports of the first row facing in a common second direction with each other, the second direction being different from the first direction; and
a second row of termination ports disposed along a second of the walls, the first wall and the second wall meeting along a common seam at a mating angle, the mating angle being larger than 90°
, the second row extending along the length of the housing, the termination ports of the second row facing in a common third direction with each other, the third direction being different from the first and second directions.

17. A termination assembly comprising:
-
a housing that is elongated along a length between a first end and a second end, the housing also having a plurality of planar walls that extend between the first end and the second end, the planar walls being angled relative to each other to face in different directions; a cable input port disposed at the first end of the housing, the cable input port facing in a first direction that is parallel with the length of the housing; a first row of termination ports disposed along a first of the planar walls, the first row extending along the length of the housing, the termination ports of the first row facing in a common second direction with each other, the second direction being different from the first direction, the termination ports of the first row being spaced from each other so that the first planar wall extends between adjacent ones of the ports; and a second row of termination ports disposed along a second of the planar walls, the second row extending along the length of the housing, the termination ports of the second row facing in a common third direction with each other, the third direction being different from the first and second directions, the termination ports of the second row being spaced from each other so that the second planar wall extends between adjacent ones of the ports. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
