Abstract: A fiber routing system including a plurality of two/multi fiber cables terminated at each end a two/multi fiber connector, wherein each of the two/multi fiber cables is a key up to key down arrangement; a plurality of two/multi fiber adapters each connecting two of the two/multi fiber connectors of two two/multi fiber cables, wherein the two two/multi fiber cables are connected end to end, wherein each of the two/multi fiber adapters have a key up to key down arrangement. The cables connect first equipment and to second equipment. A plurality of transition cable arrays can be included, each including a plurality of optical fibers, wherein a plurality of two/multi fiber connectors are at the first end, and wherein at least one MPO fiber connector is at the second end. MPO fiber adapters having a key up to key up arrangement, and a multi fiber trunk cable array is terminated at each end by an MPO fiber connector, wherein the multi fiber trunk cable array has a key up to key up arrangement, the multi fiber trunk cable array being connected to two of the MPO fiber adapters.

Abstract: The invention is directed to the characterization of an optical channel, such as an optical fiber, in an optical network. The method includes calibrating a transmitter by measuring its transmitter and dispersion eye closure (TDEC, in the case of non-return to zero optical (NRZ) optical systems or transmitter and dispersion eye closure quaternary (TDECQ, in the case of 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) optical systems). That calibrated transmitter is used to characterize the optical channel being tested by providing a measure of its stressed eye closure (SEC) or stressed eye closure quaternary (SECQ). A loss deficit for the optical channel can be calculated by subtracting the SEC or SECQ value from the maximum TDEC or TDECQ value.

Abstract: A cabling arrangement to optically couple data servers to network switches utilizes bidirectional optical fibers (e.g., multi-mode). Some types of cabling arrangements include one or more distribution modules, at least two distribution cables, and a plurality of duplex cables. Other types of cabling arrangement include one or more distribution modules, at least two distribution cables, two configuration modules, a plurality of configuration cables, and a plurality of duplex cables. The cabling arrangement may be passive and/or colorless.
