Abstract
A telecommunications optical fiber distribution system is disclosed. The system comprises a support structure defining a longitudinal axis. A plurality of fiber optic signal splitters are arranged radially with respect to the longitudinal axis defined by the support structure, each fiber optic signal splitter including a signal input location and a split signal output location. A plurality of adapters mounted to the support structure are arranged radially around the longitudinal axis defined by the support structure. Each adapter includes a first connection end for receiving a connector terminated to an output cable extending from the output location of the splitter and a second connection end for receiving a connector terminated to an outgoing distribution cable.
