Abstract:
A hybrid cable distribution system wherein a feeder cable is received by a box. The feeder cable can be a hybrid cable including optical fibers and copper wire (coax). The box may be used only for copper signal handling (such as coaxial signal handling), and then at a later date, the box may be used for receiving fiber signals. Customers can directly connect to the feeder fan out device by connecting a tail of a drop splice module that is spliced to an individual distribution cable to the feeder fan out device. This connection creates a point-to-point connection. The number of fan out devices in the system can be increased or decreased as needed. Alternatively, a splitter input can be connected to the feeder fan out device, such as through a pigtail extending from the splitter, wherein the splitter splits the signal as desired into a plurality of outputs. The outputs of the splitters can be in the form of connectors or adapters. The connectors or adapters are then connected to tails of drop splice modules that are spliced to individual distribution cables so that customers can receive a split signal. The cable distribution system allows for mixing of connection types to the customer(s) such as a direct connection (point-to-point), or a split signal connection. Further, the types of splitters can be mixed and varied as desired. Further, the types of fan out devices can be mixed and varied as desired.

Claim (Index 1):
A telecommunications enclosure comprising:\n an outer shell having a first half and a second half; and a tray positioned within at least one of the first and second halves of the outer shell, the tray including:\n a first storage location for receiving at least one splice module, the splice module being connectable to a feeder cable; \n a second storage location for receiving a plurality of fan out modules and/or a plurality of splitter modules; and \n a third storage location for receiving at least one drop splice module, the at least one drop splice module being connectable to a distribution cable.
