Abstract
Installation paths for routing cables or wire in a distribution service area emanate from a center point and extend outwardly to several distribution areas. Each distribution area has a plurality of subscriber stations with subscriber line extending between a distribution point for the distribution area and each of the stations. The distribution points for each of the distribution areas are connected to the center point of the distribution service areas by feeder lines. The installation paths that extend through the distribution areas adjacent the center point have both feeder lines and subscriber lines. Thus, the total length of the installation path network is shortened by the sharing of the installation paths. Further, the distribution points for each of the distribution areas is selected to be the one closest to the center point for the distribution system.
