Low profile fiber drop point of entry system and method of installing

A low profile telecommunications fiber drop point of entry system, comprising:

• a duct having one or more communications lines and mountable to a first wall;
• and
• an access and storage structure at least partially disposable behind the first wall, the structure including a first base unit having a first wall mounting portion and a first low profile cover, the cover being mountable over at least a portion of the duct, the first wall mounting portion including a main port having a funnel-type shape to fit into a hole formed in the first wall, the structure having a fiber slack storage area disposed between the first wall mounting portion and the first cover, the structure further including at least one of an optical fiber connector coupling device, a mechanical splice and a fusion splice, wherein a first optical fiber from the duct is terminated in a first optical fiber connector that is received by one of the connector coupling device, mechanical splice and fusion splice, and wherein the structure further includes a tubular extension extending from an end of the port and disposed in the interior wall space to surround at least a portion of one of the coupling device, mechanical splice and fusion splice.
