Patent ID: 8913867

Claim:
A fiber optic collector and terminal assembly, comprising: a multi-fiber optic cable comprising: a tail portion configured to optically couple the fiber optic collector and terminal assembly to a fiber distribution hub separate from the fiber optic collector and terminal assembly, and first and second multi-fiber branches optically coupled to the tail portion, wherein the first and second multi-fiber optic branches each have fewer fibers than the tail portion, the first multi-fiber optic branch comprising a first multi-fiber connector, the second multi-fiber optic branch comprising a second multi-fiber connector; a first multi-fiber adapter optically coupled to the first multi-fiber optic connector; a second multi-fiber adapter optically coupled to the second multi-fiber optic connector; a plurality of single-fiber optic jumpers optically coupled to the first multi-fiber adapter; a single-fiber optic drop configured to run directly to one unit of a multi-unit building; and a single-fiber adapter for securing a connection between a fiber of one of the plurality of single-fiber jumpers and a fiber of the single-fiber optic drop.
