Patent ID: 8068712

Claim:
A fiber distribution hub adapted to provide an interface between an incoming fiber and a plurality of outgoing fibers, the fiber distribution hub comprising: a cabinet defining an interior; a termination region positioned within the interior of the cabinet, the termination region including a first side and a second side; a splitter region positioned within the interior of the cabinet; at least one splitter module mounted at the splitter region, each splitter module being configured to split optical signals from at least a first splitter input onto a plurality of first pigtails, each of the first pigtails having a connectorized end that is configured to be routed to the first side of the termination region; a plurality of intermediate fibers, connectorized ends of the intermediate fibers being held at the second side of the termination region so that the connectorized end of each first pigtail routed to the first side of the termination field is optically coupled to the connectorized end of one of the intermediate fibers; a plurality of first multi-fiber connectors optically coupled to the intermediate fibers; a plurality of subscriber distribution cables routed toward subscriber locations; and a plurality of second multi-fiber connectors optically coupled to the subscriber distribution cables, each of the second multi-fiber connectors also being configured to optically couple to one of the first multi-fiber connectors.
