Abstract:
A fiber optic multiport (210) includes a housing (212), a multi-fiber connector (214) coupled to the housing, a plurality of optical fibers (216), extensions (218), and ports (220) connected to distal ends of the extensions. The housing defines an enclosure (224) and may seal off the enclosure from the environment. The plurality of optical fibers (216) are connected to and extend from the multi-fiber connector (214) into the enclosure (224).

The extensions support sub-sets of the plurality of optical fibers, and the extensions are flexible such that the extensions may bend independently of one another.
