Claim 13:
14. An optical network for providing optical signals to multiple units and minimizing an unused length of fiber, comprising:
a first splitter;
a second splitter;
a multifiber cable including a first fiber configured to provide an optical input from a distribution point to the first splitter and a second fiber configured to provide an optical input from the distribution point to the second splitter;
wherein a third fiber of the multifiber cable is configured to provide an optical signal from the first splitter to a first unit and from the second splitter to a third unit such that an unused length of the third fiber is minimized;
a third splitter located between a third unit and a fourth unit;
wherein a fourth fiber of the multifiber cable is configured to provide an optical input from the distribution point to a third splitter;
wherein the third fiber of the multifiber cable is cut between the third splitter and the second splitter; and
