Despite the precise planning work of network designers, it may prove necessary to change the gender of MPO connectors in the field from male to female and vice versa. It can also happen that not only a gender change but also a polarity change from A to B is necessary in order to make the network live.

SYLEX recently integrated into its portfolio a small and compact US CONEC fanout solution. This extremely compact furcation offers the possibility of fanning out the ribbon (as well as thin round cables) into individual 900um tubings for direct termination. In combination with MTP or PRIZM connectors it allows SYLEX to provide compact, robust and reliable fanout solutions for internal assemblies for active and passive subsystems of Fiber Optic networks.
