摘要

A universal demarcation point for managing the delivery of communications services to a subscriber. The universal demarcation point provides an interface between a utility distribution network and subscriber owned equipment for use with fiber optic cables and copper cables. The universal demarcation point includes a utility accessible portion and a subscriber accessible portion. The utility accessible portion has a plurality of service modules. The service modules are capable of plugging into the universal demarcation point and convert the light signals that are transmitted on the fiber optic cables onto cables that are suitable for use in the subscriber's dwelling. The subscriber accessible portion is adjacent to the utility accessible portion and has ports that enable the subscriber to test the integrity of the communications services delivered from the utility distribution network.
