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.

Claims21

Dependent claims

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 and second distribution points,
wherein the first group of units, the second group of units, the third group of units, and the fourth group of units include a first number of units and wherein the fiber distribution cable includes a second number of fibers that is greater than or equal to the first 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 and second distribution points,
wherein a first portion of the cut first fiber is configured to provide an optical signal to a first unit of the second group of units, and
wherein a second portion of the cut first fiber is configured to provide an optical signal to a first unit of the third group of units.

6 more elements

A passive optical network for multiple units comprising:

a first splitter disposed between a first group of units and a second group of units;
