Abstract:
A passive optical network includes a central office providing subscriber signals; a fiber distribution hub including an optical power splitter and a termination field; and a drop terminal. Distribution fibers have first ends coupled to output ports of a drop terminal and second ends coupled to the termination field. A remote unit of a DAS is retrofitted to the network by routing a second feeder cable from a base station to the hub and coupling one the distribution fibers to the second feeder cable. The remote unit is plugged into the corresponding drop terminal port, for example, with a cable arrangement having a sealed wave division multiplexer.

Claim (Index 12):
A passive optical network system comprising:\n a drop terminal deployed in the field, the drop terminal having a plurality of ports; an outdoor remote unit; and a cable arrangement routed between an empty one of the ports of the drop terminal and the remote unit, the cable arrangement including a wave division multiplexer disposed between a single optical fiber and multiple optical fibers, the wave division multiplexer demultiplexes optical signals carried by the single optical fiber from the drop terminal and routes the demultiplexed signals to the multiple optical fibers, the wave division multiplexer also multiplexes optical signals carried by the multiple optical fibers from the remote unit and routes the multiplexed signal to the single optical fiber, and the wave division multiplexer of the cable arrangement is sealed from the outside environment.
