  • System for the distribution of optical fibers
    Patent number: 8023792
    Abstract: A system for the distribution of optical fibers is disclosed. The system has a first furcation area, which is associated with a first fiber optic cable, to tap off a subset of the optical fibers of the first fiber optic cable in the form of a tether cable. The first fiber optic cable may be a riser cable. The tether cable is supplied to a spool device to store any excess length of the tether cable while complying with the minimum permissible bending radius of the optical fibers. The system has a second furcation area, which is associated with the spool device, to separate the optical fibers of the tether cable. The separated optical fibers of the tether cable can each be supplied to an individual splice storage device in which, in each case, one spliced joint can be placed between a separated optical fiber of the tether cable and an optical fiber of a second fiber optic cable, which may be a drop cable.
