ABSTRACT:
A system and method to fanout, breakout and splice into optical fibers in a ribbon cable trunkline extending throughout an aircraft with optical minimal loss. Boxes are positioned at strategic locations along the aircraft's fiber optic trunkline. Within each box, one or more fanout cable assemblies are supported and terminated whereby the optical fibers in the ribbon cable are transitioned into individually jacketed fibers for connection to separate locations. When an optical fiber circuit needs to be broken out at the location of a particular box, the proper individually jacket fiber is cut and the end that results is permanently connected to a breakout connector, also positioned through the box, so that the optical circuit appears on the breakout connector outside the box where a mating connector can be used to further route the optical circuit being broken out.
