CommScope BOSTM BrightPath Optical Solutions - Manual (Page 8)

A BrightPath direct system installation typically happens in three phases:
Distribution cable installation and pedestal placement
A cabling crew installs the distribution cable/fiber optic cable in conduit (FOCIC) and places the pedestals.
Splicing the fiber at the tap
A splicing crew follows them and splices the fiber to the headend connection and the taps.
Running the drop and attaching the NID/NIU
As subscribers sign up, drop cable installation crews visit individual homes and attach the NID, run the drop and
terminate it at the NIU.
When directly connected to the headend cable, the BrightPath system requires no external power between the
headend and the final connection to the NIU. And because optical fibers carry no electrical power, NEC article
830 is not a concern.
