Abstract
The fiber optic buildout converter includes a housing, a first fiber optic connector, and a second fiber optic connector. The housing has a first end and a second end. The first fiber optic connector is located near the first end of the housing, and the first fiber optic connector has a first interface style. The second fiber optic connector is located near the second end of the housing, and the second fiber optic connector has a second interface style. The second interface style of the second fiber optic connector is different that the first interface style of the first fiber optic connector. Furthermore, the second fiber optic connector is in optical communication with the first fiber optic connector.
