Abstract

See full text

In an optical fiber telecommunication transmission system, a remote terminal interfaces a high-rate optical fiber feeder line and a plurality of lower rate optical fiber distribution lines. The remote terminal includes a plurality of interfacing and signal cross-connecting devices which interface and cross-connect lower rate telephony signals with higher rate telephony signals. The plurality of interfacing and cross-connecting devices are interconnected with high-rate transmission lines so that telephony signals from under-utilized optical fiber distribution lines may be concentrated onto the high-rate optical fiber feeder line for efficient use of the feeder line.
