Claim:
1. A fiber distribution terminal comprising: an enclosure including a base and a cover that moves relative to the base between open and closed positions; and a cable spool assembly that receives a distribution cable so that the distribution cable is coiled about the cable spool assembly, the cable spool assembly being engaged to the base so that the cable spool assembly can rotate within an interior region of the enclosure, the cable spool assembly including a first flange and a second flange, the second flange including a tray assembly including a tray and a plurality of fiber optic adapters, the tray being disposed at an offset height from the base that is greater than a height of the base, the spool assembly being prevented from rotating relative to the base by abutment of the tray with the cover when the cover is in the closed position, the cable spool assembly being freely rotatable relative to the base when the cover is in the open position to allow the distribution cable to be paid out from a cable slot of the enclosure.
