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 1):
An optical fiber distribution system comprising:\n a distribution cable comprising:\n a plurality of distribution cable optical fibers extending between a first end and a second end of the distribution cable; and \n a distribution cable jacket surrounding the plurality of cable optical fibers; \n an access area located between the first end and the second end of the distribution cable, wherein the access area provides access through the distribution cable jacket to the distribution cable optical fibers; a first tether optical fiber having a first end optically coupled to a first distribution cable optical fiber at the access area, a second end and a length between first and second ends of the first tether optical fiber; a first optical connector coupled to the second end of the first tether optical fiber; a second tether optical fiber having a first end optically coupled to a second distribution cable optical fiber at the access area, a second end and a length between first and second ends of the second tether optical fiber; and a second optical connector coupled to the second end of the second tether optical fiber; wherein the length of the first tether optical fiber is less than the length of the second tether optical fiber.
