Patent number: 11726285Abstract: A cable distribution system is provided wherein a feeder cable with one or more feeder fibers is received by a distribution device or box. The feeder fibers are terminated to a fiber optic connector. Customers can directly connect to the connectors of the feeder cable through an adapter and a mating connector for a point-to-point connection. Alternatively, a splitter input can be connected to one or more of the connectors of the feeder cable, 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. Customers can connect to the splitter outputs through a mating connector (and an adapter if needed).Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignees: CommScope Connectivity Belgium BVBA, ADC Czech Republic s.r.o.Inventors: David Jan Irma Van Baelen, Jiri Ambroz, Jiri Pasek, Jiri Zavrel, Roger Alaerts, Eric Schurmans, Denys Mizin, Stephane Collart

Patent number: 10606009Abstract: A cable distribution system is provided wherein a feeder cable with one or more feeder fibers is received by a distribution terminal, device, or box. The feeder fibers are spliced to a feeder fan out device. Customers can directly connect to the feeder fan out device by patching between the feeder fan out device and a distribution fan out device that is spliced to a distribution cable. This connection creates a point-to-point connection. Alternatively, a splitter input can be connected to the feeder fan out device 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 the distribution fan out device, and customers can receive a split signal through the distribution cable that is spliced with the distribution fan out device.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2016Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: CommScope Connectivity Belgium BVBAInventors: David Jan Irma Van Baelen, Eric Schurmans, Jiri Zavrel
