A fiber optic deployment network that delivers uninterrupted fiber optic service from a service provider central office to a subscriber's optical network terminal, and as a component of that deployment network, a fiber optic deployment apparatus and method for deploying multiple fiber optic drops from an incoming fiber optic strand spliced from a single fiber optic strand. The deployment apparatus providing splitting and terminating functions in a combined splitter-terminal package thereby simplifying installation of the fiber optic deployment. The splitter-terminal package having a splice case, a splitter and connectorized terminations for connecting and incoming fiber optic strand, splitting the incoming fiber optic stand into a number of outgoing strands and terminating the outgoing strands at connectorized terminations. The splice case separates an incoming fiber optic strand from a primary fiber optic strand, the incoming fiber optic strand connects to the incoming side of the splitter-terminal package, the outgoing side of the splitter-terminal package connects to the fiber optic drops, and the fiber optic drops proceed to the subscriber premises. The fiber optic drops are thereby easily installed providing continuous fiber optic service throughout the network.
