Fiber management enclosure for a fiber optic connector assembly and method of use

An optical fiber management enclosure comprising:

• a main body having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion spaced apart along a longitudinal axis and a width extending from a first lateral side portion to a second lateral side portion,
• the distal end portion of the main body defining a port for accepting a plurality of optical fibers;
• the main body further defining a plurality of upper channels extending from the port toward the proximal end portion of the main body, each upper channel having a proximal end, the proximal ends of the plurality of upper channels being spaced apart along the width of the main body;
• the main body further comprising at least one lower channel extending from the proximal end of each upper channel to the proximal end portion of the main body;
• wherein each upper channel is configured to guide at least two of the plurality of optical fibers from the distal port to the at least one lower channel extending from the proximal end of said upper channel, and
• wherein the main body is configured to hold each of the plurality of optical fibers for being secured within a respective ferule adjacent the proximal end portion of the main body.
