Patent ID: 7936962

Claim:
An optical fiber distribution enclosure for splitting an optical signal carried on at least one optical fiber of a feeder cable into multiple optical signals carried on a plurality of optical fibers of a distribution cable, the enclosure comprising: a housing defining an interior; a first fiber distribution area disposed within an upper portion of the interior; a second fiber distribution area disposed within a lower portion of the interior; and a signal splitting area disposed within a center portion of the interior between the upper portion and the lower portion, the signal splitting area comprising at least one splitter module configured for splitting an optical signal carried on at least one splitter input optical fiber into a plurality of optical signals carried on a corresponding plurality of splitter output optical fibers; wherein the first fiber distribution area and the second fiber distribution area each comprise a fiber distribution field for optically connecting at least one splitter output optical fiber with a corresponding one of the plurality of optical fibers of the distribution cable.
