There is provided fiber optic local convergence points that provide
preconnectorized functionality to eliminate all or most of the splicing
associated with local convergence points in fiber optic distribution
networks. The local convergence points provide a plurality of
preconnectorized multi-fiber ports adapted to receive a preconnectorized
end of a distribution cable within the enclosure of the local convergence
point, on the enclosure itself, or outside the enclosure. For example,
the local convergence point may provide preconnectorized multi-fiber
ports outside the enclosure with an accumulator optically connected to
the interior of the local convergence with an accumulator cable, wherein
the accumulator comprises the plurality of preconnectorized multi-fiber
ports.
