ABSTRACT:
A multi input fiber optic apparatus for cooperating with a plurality of sources, the apparatus having output ends of the individual fiber optics disposed in a random pattern, wherein a dimension of the linear array is broken into sub-lengths and each sub-length has a number of input bundles corresponding to the number of inputs for the apparatus. The input bundles are randomized at the output ends within each sub-length. The apparatus includes a housing for supporting a plurality of randomized sub lengths disposed adjacent each other within the housing, wherein each sub length includes a plurality of sub-bundles, the number of sub-bundles equaling or corresponding to the number of sources, and a plurality of inputs optical connected to the sub lengths, each of the inputs including a sub-bundle from each sub-length.
