Breakout assemblies for hybrid fiber optic cables are disclosed. The breakout assembly comprises a first multi-fiber connector, at least one multi-mode connector, and at least one single-mode connector. A plurality of multi-mode optical fibers is connected between the first multi-fiber connector and the at least one multi-mode connector, and a plurality of single-mode optical fibers is connected between the first multi-fiber connector and the at least one single-mode connector. One advantage of this arrangement is that transition back and forth between single-mode and multi-mode connectivity, or simultaneous use of both types of connectivity, is enabled through installation of a single hybrid cable having both multi-mode and single-mode optical fibers terminated in a common multi-fiber connector. |
