Abstract
A pull-back fiber cable installation for multi dwelling units includes a first distribution point disposed between a first group of twelve units and a second group of twelve units, a second distribution point disposed between a third group of twelve units and a fourth group of twelve units, and a twelve fiber distribution cable optically connected to the first and second distribution points. Each fiber of the distribution cable is cut between the first and second distribution point. A first portion of the cut fiber is spliced to a first drop cable that runs to a first unit of the second group of twelve units, and a second portion of the cut fiber is spliced to a second drop cable that runs to a first unit of the third group of twelve units.
Claims20
A fiber cable installation for multiple units comprising:
- a first distribution point disposed between a first group of units and a second group of units;
- a second distribution point disposed between a third group of units and a fourth group of units;
- and
- a fiber distribution cable optically connected with the first distribution point and the second distribution point,
- wherein the first group of units, the second group of units, the third group of units, and the fourth group of units include a number of units and wherein the fiber distribution cable includes a number of fibers that is greater than or equal to the number of units,
- wherein the first distribution point and the second distribution point are configured to be optically coupled with a base station of an optical access network so as to provide optical signals from the base station to the first, second, third, and fourth groups of units,
- wherein a first fiber of the distribution cable is cut between the first distribution point and the second distribution point into a first portion of the first fiber and a second portion of the first fiber,
- wherein the first portion of the first fiber is configured to provide an optical signal to a first unit of the second group of units from the first distribution point, and
- wherein the second portion of the first fiber is configured to provide an optical signal to a first unit of the third group of units from the second distribution point.
A fiber cable installation for multiple units comprising:
- a first distribution point associated with a first group of units;
- a second distribution point associated with a second group of units;
- and
- a fiber distribution cable optically connected with the first distribution point and the second distribution point,
- wherein the first distribution point and the second distribution point are configured to be optically coupled with a base station of an optical access network so as to provide optical signals from the base station to the first group of units and the second group of units,
- wherein a first fiber of the fiber distribution cable is cut between the first distribution point and the second distribution points into a first portion of the first fiber and a second portion of the first fiber,
- wherein the first portion of the first fiber is configured to provide an optical signal to a first unit of the first group of units from the first distribution point, and
- wherein the second portion of the first fiber is configured to provide an optical signal to a first unit of the second group of units from the second distribution point.
A fiber cable installation for multiple units comprising:
- a first distribution point structurally configured to be optically coupled with a first group of units and a second group of units;
- a second distribution point structurally configured to be optically coupled with a third group of units and a fourth group of units;
- and
- a fiber distribution cable configured to be optically coupled with the first distribution point and the second distribution point,
- wherein the first group of units, the second group of units, the third group of units, and the fourth group of units include a number of units and wherein the fiber distribution cable includes a number of fibers that is greater than or equal to the number of units,
- wherein a first fiber of the distribution cable is cut into a first portion and a second portion,
- wherein the first portion of the first fiber is configured to provide an optical signal to a first unit of the second group of units from the first distribution point, and
- wherein the second portion of the first fiber is configured to provide an optical signal to a first unit of the third group of units from the second distribution point.
