1. A fiber optic connection system comprising:
a first transceiver comprising a first connector port and a second connector port,
a second transceiver configured to be connected to the first transceiver,
a third transceiver configured to be connected to the first transceiver,
a first fiber optic cable comprising at least two optical fibers configured to optically connect the first transceiver to the second transceiver, the first fiber optic cable having a first end and a second end and a contiguous length extending from the first end to the second end,
a second fiber optic cable comprising at least two optical fibers configured to optically connect the first transceiver to the third transceiver, the second fiber optic cable having a first end and a second end and a contiguous length extending from the first end to the second end,
a first fiber optic connector terminating the first end of the first fiber optic cable and configured to mate with the first connector port of the first transceiver;
a second fiber optic connector terminating the second end of the first fiber optic cable and configured to mate with the second transceiver;
a third fiber optic connector terminating the first end of the second fiber optic cable and configured to mate with the second connector port of the first transceiver; and
a fourth fiber optic connector terminating the second end of the second fiber optic cable and configured to mate with the third transceiver;
wherein each of the second and third transceivers has a different bandwidth from the bandwidth of the first transceiver.
