Fiber optic assembly with loopback |
| 摘要 |
A fiber optic assembly includes an optical cable supporting a plurality of optical fibers and a furcation integrated with the optical cable. The furcation separates optical fibers of the plurality into a first set and a second set. The first set includes a loopback channel that enters the furcation, loops around within the furcation, and then returns to the optical cable such that optical transmissions passing along the loopback channel pass twice through the optical cable in opposing directions. The second set passes through the furcation without looping back into the optical cable. |

1. A fiber optic assembly, comprising:
an optical cable supporting a plurality of optical fibers; a furcation integrated with the optical cable, wherein the furcation separates optical fibers of the plurality of optical fibers into a first set of optical fibers and a second set of optical fibers; and wherein the first set of optical fibers includes a loopback channel that enters the furcation from the optical cable, loops around within the furcation, and then returns to the optical cable such that optical transmissions passing along the loopback channel pass twice through the optical cable in opposing directions, wherein the second set of optical fibers passes through the furcation without looping back into the optical cable, wherein the furcation includes a housing that comprises a polymeric potting material permanently encasing the first and second sets of optical fibers. |
