Patent ID: 10678015

Abstract:
A method for creating a network architecture, wherein network material is allocated for three tiers including future network clients, includes:a) Establishing active optical equipment within a central office;b) Connecting the central office to at least one Fiber Distribution Hub with at least one Distribution Cable having multiple fibers;c) Designating a portion of the multiple fibers of the distribution cable such that fibers are allotted specifically to tier 1 demand, tier 2 demand, and tier 3 future demand;d) Connecting at least one Fiber Distribution Hub to an intermediate splice closure (ISC) with at least one access fiber (AF) cable having multiple fibers;e) Splicing multi-port service terminal (MST) cable tails into at least one of the access fiber cables at the intermediate splice closure;f) Connecting at least one network interface device (NID) to the multi service terminal.
