Patent ID: 8781285

Claim:
A fiber termination unit (FTU, 10 ) for connecting an optical connector ( 31 ) at an outer end of an optical fiber to a first network termination unit (NTU, 41 ), the fiber termination unit ( 10 ) comprising: a fiber management unit ( 11 ) for accommodating the outer end of the optical fiber, an NTU connection unit ( 13 ), provided at the fiber management unit ( 11 ), for positioning the optical connector ( 31 ) in a position suitable for connecting the optical connector ( 31 ) to a connector part of the first network termination unit ( 41 ), an NTU receiving structure ( 14 ) adapted to receive the first network termination unit ( 41 ) in such a way that, when the first network termination unit ( 41 ) is installed in the NTU receiving structure ( 14 ), the connector part of the first network termination unit ( 41 ) is positioned opposite to the NTU connection unit ( 13 ) in order to enable connecting the optical connector ( 31 ) to the connector part of the first network termination unit ( 41 ), characterized in that the NTU receiving structure ( 14 ) is adapted to receive a demountable casing ( 15 ) for enclosing a second network termination unit ( 16 ), the fiber management unit ( 11 ) is adapted for accommodating the outer end of a second optical fiber with a second optical connector ( 32 ), and the fiber termination unit ( 10 ) further comprises a second NTU connection unit ( 23 ) for positioning the second optical connector ( 32 ) in a position suitable for connecting the second optical connector ( 32 ) to a connector part of the second network termination unit ( 16 ) when the demountable casing ( 15 ) with the second network termination unit ( 16 ) is received in the NTU receiving structure ( 14 ).
