Abstract
A low-loss shared FTTH distribution network that enables optical communications within a subscriber area, including optical fibers routed from a point of distribution to the subscriber area, a tap device including an optical tap which interfaces a downstream optical fiber with a first optical fiber, and a straight-through optical fiber which is routed straight through the tap device. The tap device may include a splitter which splits the downstream optical fiber into multiple downstream optical fibers, and the tap device may include tap ports for the downstream optical fibers. Any number of straight-through optical fibers may be included which are routed straight through the tap device. A method including routing optical fibers within the subscriber area, tapping at least one optical fiber with a tap device to interface a downstream optical fiber, and routing at least one optical fiber straight through the tap device.
