ABSTRACT:
A terminal for connecting customers to an optical fiber network includes a terminal housing and an optical fiber splitter in the housing. An optical fiber cable stub extends from the housing. The optical fiber cable stub has an optical fiber extending therein that is coupled to the splitter in the housing. A plurality of termination connectors are connected to the housing. Ones of the termination connectors have a customer optical fiber connection point accessible from outside the terminal housing and respective optical fibers extending in the housing from the termination connectors to the splitter. The splitter is configured to couple the optical fiber from the optical fiber cable stub to the optical fibers extending from the termination connectors to couple a single optical fiber from the optical fiber cable stub to a plurality of customer optical fiber connection points.
