Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present disclosure relates to an optical fiber fan-out device having a furcation tube assembly. The furcation tube assembly includes a furcation tube mounting insert and an array of furcation tubes. The first end of the furcation tube mounting insert has a first end surface being a slant configuration at an oblique angle relative to the furcation tube axes. The slanted edge helps to insert optical fibers into the furcation tubes. The supported portions of the furcation tubes have fiber insertion ends that terminate at the first end surface. The furcation tubes also including free portions that extend from the second end of the furcation tube mounting insert.
