A fiber optic NID includes a base defining an interior cavity and a protective cover. A backplate shaped, sized, and configured to be positioned within the internal cavity defines a first fiber management area, a second fiber management area, and a fiber connecting area. The fiber connecting area includes a raised platform having a connection tray, an adapter, and a routing guide positioned on the platform and secured thereto. The connection tray optically joins an optical fiber of a feeder cable from the first fiber management area to a first connector and an optical fiber of a distribution cable from the second fiber management area to a second connector. The first connector and the second connector are routed along the routing guide to the adapter and optically joined to connect the optical fiber of the feeder cable and the optical fiber of the distribution cable.
