5.2.2.
Standard indexing terminal 1:4 splitter with
reverse port
In this configuration, the terminal will drop the first fiber
from the incoming 12 fiber strand. This fiber will be
routed to an integrated 1:4 splitter. The outputs of this
splitter are DLX adapters or full size hardened adapters
(depending on the housing type). The others 11 fibers
from the incoming 12 fiber strand cable will proceed
unsplit and be terminated on a HMFOC adapter port,
together with the fiber coming from the reverse port.
The fiber coming from the reverse port will take # 12 of
the outgoing 12 fiber HMFOC, the incoming fiber # 2 will
take # 1 of this outgoing 12 fiber HMFOC.
The HMFOC adapter port is colored green and indicated
with an ‘A’ on the terminal. The reverse port is colored red
and indicated with a ‘R’ and the terminal.
Image below shows the schematics inside the terminal.
The 12 fiber strand cable terminated on a female HMFOC
of this terminal is connected to the green HMFOC
adapter port of its up-stream terminal (to the FDH in case
of the first terminal of the chain), a forward feed path is
created. 4 subscribers (homes) can be fed around this
indexed terminal by connecting a connectorized drop
cable (DLX or full size hardened) to one of the 4 black
dust cap adapter ports.
Up to 12 indexed terminals can be connected one after
the other (link installation).
Image below shows the available ports and color code of
the adapters of this terminal configuration:

Both housings are designed to meet aerial and pedestal
conditions. For hand-hole application, the housings are
designed to meet the conditions for hand-holes located
up to 3 meters (10 feet) under ground.

Configurations
To build the network, each housing type is available in 4
configurations:
• Standard indexing terminal with 1:4 splitter
• Standard indexing terminal with 1:8 splitter
• Indexing only
• Branch terminal
