Abstract: An example method for installing fiber optic cables between a fiber distribution hub and a plurality of access points includes: pulling the fiber optic cables from a farthest access point to the fiber distribution hub, with each of the fiber optic cables being of a different length and sized to be positioned adjacent to one of the plurality access points when the fiber optic cables are pulled to the fiber distribution hub; connecting a pulled end of the each of the fiber optic cables to the fiber distribution hub; and connecting a free end of each of the fiber optic cables to a respective access point to connect each of the access points to the fiber distribution hub.

Abstract: A flexible pin for use in a male fiber optic connector is flexible both in bending and radially to accommodate variations in fiber optic ferrules of the male fiber optic connector and a female fiber optic connector. The flexibility may accommodate angular errors of the male and the female fiber optic connectors. The flexibility may also accommodate diametral errors of the flexible pin of the male fiber optic connector and diametral errors in a pin hole of the female fiber optic connector. The flexibility is sufficient that a connector spring or spring clamp can mate mating faces of the male and the female fiber optic connectors with the errors present. In certain embodiments, the flexible pin is a removable pin that includes a latch. The removable pin can be installed and removed from a fiber optic connector without disassembling a ferrule from a connector housing of the fiber optic connector.
