OPTICAL FIBER DISTRIBUTION CABLES

摘要

Described are optical fiber distribution cables that simplify the installation process and significantly reduce the number of field splices. The distribution cables contain optical splitters within the cable structure itself, and the drop cables are also housed within the distribution cable. The optical splitters are preferably bi-directional to facilitate placement of the optical splitters inside the distribution cable.
