Abstract
A terminal includes modules adapted to be sequentially assembled together in a serial chain to build the terminal. At least some of the modules each include a module housing, a ruggedized optical output port provided on the module housing, a plug and play input connection location, a plug and play expansion connection location provided on the module housing, and an asymmetric power splitter within the module housing for splitting optical power from the plug and play input location asymmetrically between the ruggedized optical output port and the plug and play expansion connection location. The plug and play input connection locations and the plug and play expansion connection locations of adjacent modules in the serial chain are adapted to mate with respect to one another.
