Cabling a terminal access cable through a residence includes optically coupling an end of a subscriber cable to a first end of a terminal access cable within a transition anchoring the terminal access cable to an anchor surface (202) formed as a flange surrounding the side walls (203) of the transition box with adhesive; storing excess length of the terminal access cable at a storage location (207) within the transition box; routing the terminal access cable from the transition box to a wall outlet box; anchoring the terminal access cable to an anchor surface of the wall outlet box with adhesive; and routing a second end of the terminal access cable into the wall outlet box and optically coupling the second end to a port of an optical adapter disposed within the wall outlet box. A jumper cable can be optically coupled to the subscriber cable by plugging a connectorized end of the jumper cable into the port.
