Abstract
A pigtail cable assembly comprising a fiber optic cable having a plurality of optical fibers, a mid-section, a first end section and a second end section is disclosed. The plurality of optical fibers are separated from the fiber optic cable at the first end section. One of the plurality of the optical fibers at the second end section is adapted to be connected to a single fiber splice at a second end when single fiber splicing is intended. A sever site is located on the mid-section. The second end section may be severed from the mid-section at the sever site when mass splicing is intended. When the second end section is separated from the mid-section at the sever site the mid-section of the fiber optic cable is adapted to be connected to a mass splice at the sever site.
