Buffer tube fan-out kit Fiber fan out kit is used to terminate large fiber counts fiber cables. Some fiber cables, such as simplex and duplex fiber cables, and breakout fiber cables, already have 3mm jacket to accept fiber connectors and can be terminated directly and easily. However, for other large fiber counts cables, such as loose tube buffered fiber cables, the fibers are usually only 250um bare fibers. These fibers are bare with little support, and can be broken or damaged easily. Fiber fan out kit or breakout kit include fiber buffer tubes that can be slipped onto the individual fibers to provide them with protection and support. This is also makes the fiber prepared for connectors and handling. The fan out kit or breakout kit is designed to adapt groups of coated fibers for connectors by separating them and adding a tight buffer to each one. The buffer protects the fiber and gives it a thickness of 900um so that a standard connector can be attached. Whenever possible, fiber splice tray and an enclosure should be used for loose tube termination, especially for heavy outdoor cables. Different fiber counts of fiber breakout kits and fan out kits are available to match the number of fibers in the loose tube cable or ribbon fiber cable. There are also different length 900um buffer tubes and jackets such as 25” and 36” to match the length of fibers that need to spread out from the cable.
