The optical access point is usually an optical splitter in the optical distribution box. Each ODN consists of 3 segments: feeder segment or feeder optical cable, distribution segment or distribution optical cable, and drop segment or. To add slack loops, place one or more 12 inch (31 cm) diameter loops on the slack-end of the cable b fore routing the cable to the terminati he selected termination hardware according place drip loops in the cable during installation. Where splitters are placed in the network can make significant impacts on fiber counts, network cost and deployment time and operational steps, such as customer onboarding and maintenance.
