Fiber optic interface device

A method for delivering fiber optic service to a subscriber premises in a fiber to the home network, the method comprising:

• providing a fiber optic interface device at the subscriber premises, the fiber optic interface device having routing hardware and an adapter;
• attaching a transition fitting of a connectorized outside fiber optic drop to the fiber optic interface device;
• attaching a transition fitting of a connectorized inside fiber optic drop to the fiber optic interface device;
• routing the connectorized outside fiber optic drop and the connectorized inside fiber optic drop around the routing hardware and to the adapter;
• and
• connecting the connectorized outside fiber optic drop and the connectorized inside fiber optic drop to the adapter.

A fiber optic interface device comprising:

• (a) a housing;
• (b) termination hardware adapted to secure a first transition fitting of a connectorized outside fiber optic drop and a second transition fitting of a connectorized inside fiber optic drop to the housing;
• (c) an adapter inside the housing, wherein the adapter is adapted to connect the connectorized outside fiber optic drop to the connectorized inside fiber optic drop;
• and
• (d) routing hardware inside the housing, wherein the routing hardware is adapted to store slack of the connectorized outside fiber optic drop and the connectorized inside fiber optic drop and to route the connectorized outside fiber optic drop and the connectorized inside fiber optic drop from the termination hardware to the adapter.
