A method for connecting a number of users with at least one signal bearing optical fiber (1101÷z; 2101÷10) contained in an optical cable (105; 205) is proposed. The method comprises the steps of: a) interrupting said signal bearing optical fiber (1101÷z; 2101÷10) at a first branch point (115X|1; 215p1÷5), obtaining a first optical fiber segment (110X|2; 2109|1÷10) upstream of said branch point (115X|1; 215p1÷10) and a second optical fiber segment (110X|2; 2109|1÷10) downstream of said branch point (115X|1; 215p1÷10); b) providing an optical splitter (120X|1; 2209|1÷32) at the branch point (115X|1; 215p1÷10), the optical splitter (120X|1; 2209|1÷32) comprising an input and two outputs; c) coupling the first optical fiber segment (110X|1; 210i9) with the input of the optical splitter (120X|1; 2209|1÷10); d) coupling a first output of the optical splitter (120X|1; 2209|1÷32) with a first user; e) coupling a second output of the optical splitter (120X|1; 2209|1÷32) with a downstream optical fiber segment (110X|2; 2109|1÷8) of an interrupted optical fiber (110x; 2101÷8) contained in the optical cable (105; 205), and f) coupling said downstream optical fiber segment (110X|2; 2109|1÷8) with at least one further user at a further branch point (215s9|1÷8) downstream the first branch point (115X|1; 215p1÷10). |
