Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to systems and method for deploying a fiber optic network. Distribution devices are used to index fibers within the system to ensure that live fibers are provided at output locations throughout the system. In an example, fibers can be indexed in multiple directions within the system. In an example, spare ports can be providing in a forward direction and reverse direction ports can also be provided.

Claim (Index 2):
A fiber optic network comprising:\n a plurality of optical fibers carrying optical signals, the optical signals being either: a) an overlay of PON and WDM signals; or b) PON and WDM signals transmitted over separate ones of the optical fibers, the plurality of optical fibers including first optical fibers and second optical fibers; a network component coupled to the plurality of optical fibers, the network component including an optical power splitter configured to split the optical signals carried over the first optical fibers onto a first multi-fiber cable, the second optical fibers bypassing the optical power splitter; and at least one chain of multi-fiber indexing components, the at least one chain being optically coupled to at least one of the first optical fibers and to at least one of the second optical fibers at the network component.
