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: Example telecommunications wall outlets (200) include a base structure (220) and a stationary spool structure (237) extending from the base structure (220). The spool structure (237) includes a hub portion (248) extending between a first wall (238) and a second wall (250). A length of fiber optic cable (190) is coiled about the hub portion (248) between the first and second walls (238, 250). A cover (260) is also provided which covers at least a portion of the spool structure (237). The cover (260) includes a port (266) aligned over the hub portion (248) through which the length of cable can be dispensed from the spool structure (237) by unwinding the cable (190) about the spool structure (237) such that the port (266) revolves around the spool structure (237). Additional embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A fiber distribution terminal (30, 130, 230) including a housing (131, 231); and a spool arrangement (136, 236) that can rotate relative to the housing about an axis of rotation. The spool arrangement includes a drum portion (142, 242) centered on the axis of rotation and a flange (144, 146, 244, 246) that rotates with the drum portion about the axis of rotation. A fiber optic cable (40) is coiled on the drum portion. A fiber optic adapter (164, 264) and a connectorized pigtail (160, 260) are carried with the flange and positioned within the housing. The spool arrangement (136, 236) rotates relative to the housing when the fiber optic cable (40) is paid out. The drum portion (142, 242) can be removed from the flange after the fiber optic cable has been paid out to provide the distribution terminal with a compact configuration.
