ABSTRACT:
There are provided fiber optic local convergence points (“LCPs”) adapted for use with multiple dwelling units (“MDUs”) that facilitate relatively easy installation and/or optical connectivity to a relatively large number of subscribers. The LCP includes a housing comprising an access cover for separating the subscriber portion from the provider portions. A splitter module of the LCP may be joined to the interior side of the access cover or may be joined to the housing opposite the access cover. The LCP may also include a splice tray assembly and/or an input receptacle to facilitate convenient installation of the provider cable. The LCP further comprises a plurality of receptacles for selective optical connection of a plurality of subscriber drop fibers/cables.
