Abstract:
An expandable optical distribution device is provided which includes a basic module defined by a basic box, closed by a front cover, receiving an optical cable and housing an optical fiber derived from the optical cable and coupled to an output adapter to which a user's drop cable of a first user is coupled; and an additional carton-shaped expansion module in the form of an additional box, engageable on the basic box and closed by a tilting cover. The additional box is provided with an input connector attachable to the output adapter, and houses an expansion fiber split into multiple user fibers, each user fiber being coupled to an expansion adapter internal to the additional box and to each of which a user's drop cable is attachable.

Claim (Index 1):
An expandable optical distribution device, comprising:\n (1) a basic module (MB), comprising a basic box ( 10 ), closed by a front cover ( 20 ), and provided with an input ( 12 a ) and an output ( 12 b ) for an optical cable line (CO) and a connection opening ( 12 c ), the basic box ( 10 ) housing, on an interior, an optical fiber (FO) extension derived from the optical cable (CO) and a fiber (F) extension having an end spliced to the optical fiber (FO), the fiber extension also having a free end coupled to an output adapter (AS) engaged with the connection opening ( 12 c ) and to which a drop cable of a first user is selectively coupled; and (2) an expansion module (ME) comprising an additional box ( 30 ), engageable with the basic box ( 10 ), closed by a tilting cover ( 40 ) and provided with an input connector (CE) attachable to the outlet adapter (AS) of the basic box ( 10 ) upon engagement of the additional box ( 30 ) with the basic box ( 10 ), the additional box ( 30 ) housing, on an interior, an expansion fiber (FE) having an end coupled to the input connector (CE) and an opposing end coupled to a splitter device (D) within which the expansion fiber (FE) is split into a multiplicity of user fibers (FU), each of the user fibers having an end coupled to corresponding expansion adapter (AEX) of the additional box ( 30 ), the expansion fibers located behind the tilting cover ( 40 ), and within each expansion adaptor is selectively coupled a user's drop cable (CD).
