Abstract:
A terminal for an optical fiber network includes a housing, a plurality of feeder cable adapters positioned in the housing, a plurality of distribution panel adapters positioned in the housing, and a bypass module positioned in the housing and including at least one bypass module adapter. A plurality of input optical fibers extend from at least one of the plurality of feeder cable adapters, into the main body of the bypass module, and to the at least one bypass module adapter. Additionally, a plurality of output optical fibers extend from the at least one bypass module adapter to at least one of the plurality of distribution panel adapters. The plurality of input optical fibers each optically couple to a single one of the plurality of output optical fibers within the at least one bypass module adapter.
