Optical fiber and cable management apparatus includes a base for mounting
on a wall or other surface at a subscriber premises, and a drum region
extending axially upward from the base. The drum region includes an outer
cylindrical wall for supporting a length of a first fiber optic cable
wound about the outer wall, an inner cylindrical wall disposed radially
inward of the outer wall to define an annular fiber routing region
between the two walls, and a cable entry port in the outer wall for
receiving an end portion of the first fiber optic cable so that fibers of
the cable may be routed through the fiber routing region. An interface
compartment disposed atop the drum is constructed to interface a first
set of fibers routed within the compartment, with a second set of fibers
associated with a second fiber optic cable that is routed to the
apparatus.
