5.2.4.
Indexing only terminal with reverse port
The indexing terminal is also available without an
integrated splitter. In this case the unsplit signal of the
first fiber of the incoming chain, goes to a single drop
(black dust cap). This single drop can be connected to a
more peripheral terminal where splicing and or splitting
is performed. This topology enables a greater spatial
coverage though the possible number of drops remains
the same for each chain.
Images below shows the schematics inside the terminal
and the color code of the adapters of this terminal.

Standard indexing terminal 1:8 splitter with
reverse port
If there are more subscribers (homes) around the
indexing terminal to feed, the terminal can have a 1:8
splitter instead of a 1:4 as described in section 5.2.2.
8 homes can be fed (passed) from this terminal.
