Abstract

A fiber optic apparatus is provided for cross-connecting the individual fibers of a plurality of fiber optic ribbons. The apparatus includes a flat substrate having plurality of individual optical fibers routed thereon. The fibers are routed to form at least one first fiber optic ribbon leading onto the substrate at a first edge location thereof and at least one second fiber optic ribbon leading away from the substrate at a second edge location thereof. The fibers and ribbons follow a uniform path between the edge locations. An inner portion of at least one of the fiber optic ribbons on the substrate is routed with a loop offset form the uniform path to provide an amount of slack to allow an outer portion of the ribbon off of the substrate to be varied in length.
