Flexible shuffle circuit and method for assembling same

摘要

A flexible shuffle circuit and method are provided for a flexible fiber routing management solution for optical networking applications. The flexible shuffle circuit includes a housing on a plurality of optical fibers that extend from at least two locations in the housing. The plurality of optical fibers are arranged into sets of optical fibers, each set having at least two optical fibers. The optical fibers have an end portion that is ribbonized in a predetermined orientation. A protective covering is provided to cover the optical fibers. The optical fibers are preferable buffered fibers, free to move relative to one another in the protective coverings.
