Abstract: A cable distribution system is provided wherein a feeder cable with one or more feeder fibers is received by a distribution device or box. The feeder fibers are terminated to a fiber optic connector. Customers can directly connect to the connectors of the feeder cable through an adapter and a mating connector for a point-to-point connection. Alternatively, a splitter input can be connected to one or more of the connectors of the feeder cable, such as through a pigtail extending from the splitter, wherein the splitter splits the signal as desired into a plurality of outputs. The outputs of the splitters can be in the form of connectors or adapters. Customers can connect to the splitter outputs through a mating connector (and an adapter if needed).

Abstract: A fiber optic splitter arrangement includes a housing defining a non-enterable interior; at least one optical power splitter disposed within the non-enterable interior; an input port carried by the housing; and a multi-fiber connection port carried by the housing. The input port and/or the multi-fiber connection port may be attached directly to the housing. Output fibers of more than one optical power splitter disposed within the non-enterable interior may be routed to the same multi-fiber connection port. Output fibers of a single optical power splitter may be routed to multiple multi-fiber connection ports.

Abstract: A cable distribution system is provided wherein a feeder cable with one or more feeder fibers is received by a distribution terminal, device, or box. The feeder fibers are spliced to a feeder fan out device. Customers can directly connect to the feeder fan out device by patching between the feeder fan out device and a distribution fan out device that is spliced to a distribution cable. This connection creates a point-to-point connection. Alternatively, a splitter input can be connected to the feeder fan out device wherein the splitter splits the signal as desired into a plurality of outputs. The outputs of the splitters can be in the form of connectors or adapters. The connectors or adapters are then connected to the distribution fan out device, and customers can receive a split signal through the distribution cable that is spliced with the distribution fan out device.

Abstract: A closure (100) is configured to hold one or more termination arrangements (120) at which one or more connectorized ends of optical cables can be received. The closure (100) provides axial pull-out protection for the connectorized ends (142) of the optical cables (140). In certain implementations, the closure (100) provides axial pull-out protection for the connectorized ends (142) of optical cables (140) arranged in multiple layers within the closure (100). In certain implementations, the closure (100) provides axial pull-out protection for standard optical connectors (e.g., standard SC connectors, standard LC connectors, standard LX.5 connectors, standard MPO connectors, etc.). The axial pull-out protection can be in the form of a cover (130). Cable bend protection (136) may also be provided by the cover.

Abstract: Example fiber optic connector systems have rugged, robust designs that are environmentally sealed and that are relatively easy to install and uninstall in the field. Some connector systems can be configured in the field to be compatible with different styles of fiber optic adapters. Some connectors include a first seal (90) on a release sleeve; and a second seal (88) between the release sleeve and a connector body. Other connectors include a seal (139) and a flexible latch (136) on a connector. Other connectors include a protective structure (228, 328, 428) that mounts over the fiber optic connector. Other connectors include a protective outer shell (528, 860) and a sealing and attachment insert (570, 570A, 876). Other connectors include a protective outer shell (728) and a fastener (780).

Abstract: A fiber distribution system (10) includes a fiber distribution hub (20, 300); at least one fiber distribution terminal (30, 100); and a cable (40) wrapped around a spool (110) of the fiber distribution terminal (30, 100). The fiber distribution terminal (30, 100) includes a spool (110) and a management tray (120) that rotate together. A second connectorized end (40b) of the cable (40) is held at a fiber optic adapter (125) on the tray (120). After dispensing the first connectorized end (40a) to the hub (20), an optical splitter (70, 130, 140) can be mounted to the tray (120). The splitter (26, 70, 130, 140, 306) has output adapters at which patch cords (50) can be inserted to connect subscribers to the system. The fiber distribution hub can use the same format of splitters (26, 70, 130, 140, 306). Other distributed splitter systems are provided with splicing and/or adding of splitters as needed.

Abstract: A subscriber interface unit (60) can be installed by attaching a storage spool (120) to a wall using a fastener (180); deploying a pre-wound cable (50) from the storage spool (120) by turning the storage spool (120) about the fastener (180); and mounting the subscriber interface unit (60) on the storage spool (120). The storage spool (120) includes a drum portion (122) having a side wall (128) and a rear end wall (129). The rear end wall (129) defines a fastener opening (125) aligned with an axis of rotation of the spool (120). A flange portion (124) is coupled to a front end (121) of the drum portion (122). The spool (120) can define a slot (170) having a radial portion (170A) that extends though the flange portion (124) and an axial portion (170B) that extends through the side wall (128) of the drum portion (122).
