A variably configurable fiber optic terminal (10) as a local convergence point in a fiber optic network is disclosed. The fiber optic terminal has an enclosure (20) having a base (22) and a cover (24) which define an interior space. A feeder cable (12) having at least one optical fiber and a distribution cable (14) having at least one optical fiber are received into the interior space (25) through a feeder cable port and a distribution cable port, respectively. A movable chassis (34) positions in the interior space and is movable between a first position, a second position and third position. The movable chassis has a splitter holder area (38), a cassette area (40) and a parking area (42). A cassette (46,48) movably positions in the cassette area. A splitter module holder (44) having a splitter module movably positioned therein movably positions in the splitter holder area. The optical fiber of the feeder cable and the optical fiber of the distribution cable are optically connected through the cassette, which also may be through the splitter module. In such case, the optical fiber of the feeder cable optically connects to an input optical fiber to the slitter module, where the optical signal is split into a plurality of output optical fibers. One of the plurality of output optical fibers connects to the optical fiber of the distribution cable for distribution towards a subscriber premises. The interior space is variably configurable by changeably positioning the cassette and splitter modules in the movable chassis.
