Abstract
There is provided fiber optic hardware and hardware components adapted to provide a desired amount of fiber optic connectivity and/or functionality for a desired amount of volume, materials, etc. The fiber optic hardware components include, but are not limited to multiports, local convergence points (LCPs), particularly LCPs for multiple dwelling units or similar applications, network interface devices, equipment frames, and fiber distribution hubs. Certain fiber optic hardware components are adapted to accommodate microstructured optical fiber or other bend performance optical fiber.
