ABSTRACT:
A splitter includes an optical splitter arrangement positioned with the interior of a housing. An input cable enters the housing. At least one boot protrudes outwardly from an end wall of the splitter housing. At least two output cables exit from the housing through the boot. First ends of the output cables are terminated with connectors. The optical splitter arrangement is configured to receive a signal from the input cable and to output the signal to the output cables.
