Abstract
The NTU receiving structure (14) is further adapted to receive a demountable casing (15) for enclosing a second network termination unit (16). The fiber management unit (11) is further adapted for accommodating the outer end of a second optical fiber with a second optical connector (32). The fiber termination unit (10) further comprises a second NTU connection unit (23) for positioning the second optical connector (32) in a position suitable for connecting the second optical connector (32) to a connector part of the second network termination unit (16) when the demountable casing (15) with the second network termination unit (16) is received in the NTU receiving structure (14).
