Abstract:
An optical fiber distribution system is provided. The system includes a distribution cable having a plurality of cable optical fibers. The system includes a plurality of optical fiber tethers each including a tether optical fiber optically coupled to a cable optical fiber. The tethers provide access to and distribute the optical network at positions along the length of the optical fiber. The system is configured to provide access area organization and/or low profiles, such as through staggered tether lengths, tether webbing and/or access area sleeve arrangements.

Claim (Index 10):
An optical fiber distribution system comprising:\n a distribution cable comprising:\n a plurality of distribution cable optical fibers; and \n a distribution cable jacket surrounding the plurality of cable optical fibers, the distribution cable jacket extending between a first end and a second end of the distribution cable; \n an opening in the distribution cable jacket allowing access the distribution cable optical fibers at a position between the first and second ends of the distribution cable; \n a first optical fiber tether comprising:\n a first tether optical fiber having a first end extending through the opening and optically coupled to a first distribution cable optical fiber and a second end opposite the first end; and \n a first tether jacket surrounding the first tether optical fiber; and \n a second optical fiber tether comprising:\n a second tether optical fiber having a first end extending through the opening and optically coupled to a second distribution cable optical fiber and a second end opposite the first end; and \n a second tether jacket surrounding the second tether optical fiber; and \n a web extending between and coupling an outer surface of the first tether jacket to an outer surface of the second tether jacket.
