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.
