Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic network including a plurality of fiber distribution components daisy chained together to form a chain of fiber distribution components, the chain of fiber distribution components having a first set of optical fiber paths that are indexed along a length of the chain and a second set of optical fiber paths that are not indexed along a length of the chain.

An optical terminal comprising:
- a terminal housing defining an interior;
- an input arrangement;
- an output arrangement;
- a drop arrangement;
- a plurality of indexed pass-through fibers indexed between sequential fiber positions at the input arrangement and sequential fiber positions at the output arrangement, at least portions of the indexed pass-through fibers extending through the interior of the terminal housing;
- a drop fiber extending from the input arrangement to the drop arrangement, at least a portion of the drop fiber extending through the interior of the terminal housing;
- and
- a plurality of non-indexed pass-through fibers extending between the input arrangement and the output arrangement without being indexed, at least portions of the non-indexed pass-through fibers extending through the interior of the terminal housing.
