Local convergence cabinet for optical fiber cable networks

摘要

An outdoor cabinet interconnects an optical fiber of a feeder cable with at least two optical fibers of a distribution cable at a local convergence point in an optical network. The cabinet defines an interior compartment comprising a feeder cable side having a feeder cable entry port and a feeder cable slack storage area, a distribution cable side having a distribution cable entry port and a distribution cable slack storage area, at least one splice tray and at least one coupler module. A feeder pigtail is routed from the splice tray and connected to an adapter provided on the coupler module. At least two distribution pigtails are routed from the splice tray and connected to adapters provided on the coupler module. The coupler module splits an optical signal carried on the optical fiber of the feeder cable into optical signals carried on the optical fibers of the distribution cable.
