Fan-out subassembly

A method for installing a fan-out subassembly at a first location, the fan-out subassembly including a furcation module holder and a plurality of furcation modules, the method comprising:

• pre-assembling the fan-out subassembly at a second location that is remote from the first location, the pre-assembling including securing a cable to the furcation module holder, routing optical fibers of the cable through furcation tubes of the furcation modules, and securing the furcation modules to the furcation module holder;
• transporting the pre-assembled fan-out assembly from the second location to the first location;
• and
• mounting the pre-assembled fan-out assembly to a main component provided at the first location.

A kit comprising:

• a cable spool assembly including an optical cable wrapped around a spool, the optical cable including an outer jacket surrounding a plurality of buffer tubes, each of the buffer tubes holding a plurality of optical fibers;
• and
• a fan-out subassembly into which a portion of the optical cable is routed, the fan-out subassembly including:
• a furcation module holder configured to be mounted to the main component, the furcation module holder including a cable anchoring location at which the optical cable is secured to the furcation module holder;
• and
• a plurality of furcation modules each having a furcation tube mounting insert and a plurality of furcation tubes, the furcation tubes being supported by the furcation tube mounting inserts, the furcation tubes having free portions that extend outwardly from the furcation tube mounting inserts, the furcation tube mounting inserts being mounted to the furcation module holder and at least sections of the free portions of the furcation tubes extending outwardly from the furcation module holder, wherein the optical fibers of the optical cable are routed through the furcation tubes of the furcation modules.
