PRETERMINATED FIBER OPTIC CABLE INCLUDING DOWNSTREAM SPLITTER

摘要

An optical splitter (24) adjacent a downstream end of a fiber optic cable (30) is operable for supplying an optical signal to at least one optical fiber (28) from the downstream end of the fiber. A preterminated fiber optic distribution cable includes a first access location having an optical fiber termination fed from an upstream end of the cable and a second access location having an optical fiber termination fed from a downstream end of the cable (38), wherein the cable includes an upstream optical splitter (24) for feeding a first set of optical fibers (28) and a downstream optical splitter (48) for back-feeding a second set of optical fibers (36). A fiber optic cable comprising a first set of optical fibers (28) that are terminated and fed from an upstream end of the fiber optic cable (30) and a second set of optical fibers (36) that are terminated and fed from a downstream end of the fiber optic cable (30).
