Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus for providing 200 micron, or smaller, coated optical fibers with a 250 micrometer pitch diameter in preparation for insertion into a Multi-fiber Push On connector (MPO) and/or splicing apparatus. The apparatus can sort, arrange, and clamp optical fibers into a proper sequence to allow the coated optical fibers to be aligned for processing, for example, connectorization and/or splicing. The apparatus includes a separator element that defines grooves for receiving and sequencing coated optical fibers with respect to each other to set a uniform pitch diameter.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a splice arrangement. The splice arrangement may include an elongate splice protection housing that defines a channel that extends lengthwise through the elongate splice protection housing from a first end of the splice protection housing to an opposite second end of the splice protection housing. The splice arrangement may also include a first fiber optic cable and a second fiber optic cable. First optical fibers of the first fiber optic cable and second optical fibers of the second fiber optic cable may be coupled together at a splice location positioned within the channel of the elongate splice protection housing.
