Abstract
Systems, assemblies, and methods for selectively defining optical fiber splitter ratio outputs within an enclosure are provided. The system includes an enclosure comprising a feeder cable with a plurality of main optical fibers that are each connected to either an adapter port or to a splitter that is then connected to split adapter ports. Intermediary connectors are selectively connectable to the adapter ports or split adaptor ports, and the intermediary connectors are connected to additional splitters by intermediary optical fibers. The additional splitters are then each connected to distribution optical fibers, which are connected to sets of distribution ports. The sets of distribution ports are positioned in a panel of the enclosure and accessible for connection to downstream installation optical fibers. Various optical splitter ratio outputs for the distribution ports are selectable depending on which adapter ports the intermediary connectors are connected to.
