A method for reconfiguration of an optical fiber distribution system, where, when an optical connection is to be established, the method comprises the step of: - moving (211, 308) an optical connector, said connector terminating an end of a connectorized fiber cable, from a storage adapter to a source/destination adapter, said source/destination adapter either being adapted to terminate an incoming optical fiber cable or being adapted to terminate an outgoing optical fiber cable and also being adapted to receive and provide optical connection to an optical connector, and said storage adapter being adapted to store an optical connector before connection to a source/destination adapter, and where, when an optical connection is to be terminated, the method further comprises the step of: - moving (405, 406, 407) an optical connector, said connector terminating an end of a connectorized fiber cable, from a source/destination adapter to a parking adapter, said parking adapter being adapted to park an optical connector after connection to a source/destination adapter, where each storage adapter, parking adapter and source/destination adapter is positioned in at least one patch panel wherein said optical connector is routed over a steering unit having a substantially circular or half circular shape and being positioned in the center of said patch panel, and where the storage adapters are of a first type of adapters, each dedicated for: - initial temporary storage of an optical connector before connection to a source/destination adapter; the parking adapters are of another type of adapters, each dedicated for: - parking an optical connector after connection to a source/destination adapter; and the source/destination adapters are of yet another type of adapters, each dedicated for: - terminating either an incoming or an outgoing optical fiber cable; and - receiving and providing optical connection only to optical connectors that have been moved from corresponding storage adapters, where furthermore said patch panel further comprises a plurality of subsets of parking adapters and a plurality of subsets of storage adapters, where each subset of parking adapters is positioned within a corresponding area on said patch panel and each subset of storage adapters is positioned within a corresponding area on said patch panel, where said areas are separated from each other. - moving (211, 308) an optical connector, said connector terminating an end of a connectorized fiber cable, from a storage adapter to a source/destination adapter, said source/destination adapter either being adapted to terminate an incoming optical fiber cable or being adapted to terminate an outgoing optical fiber cable and also being adapted to receive and provide optical connection to an optical connector, and said storage adapter being adapted to store an optical connector before connection to a source/destination adapter, - moving (405, 406, 407) an optical connector, said connector terminating an end of a connectorized fiber cable, from a source/destination adapter to a parking adapter, said parking adapter being adapted to park an optical connector after connection to a source/destination adapter, - initial temporary storage of an optical connector before connection to a source/destination adapter; - parking an optical connector after connection to a source/destination adapter; - terminating either an incoming or an outgoing optical fiber cable; and - receiving and providing optical connection only to optical connectors that have been moved from corresponding storage adapters,
