- a bend radius limiter extends rearwardly from the base 121 at the aperture 122 to inhibit excessive bending of the cable 40 when the cable 40 transitions through the aperture 122.
- the base 121 also defines a channel 123 or other structures for providing fiber bend radius protection for routing the second end 40b of the cable 40 to a holding location 124 on the management tray 120.

- the input region 132 includes an adapter defining an empty port at which the connectorized end 40a of the cable 40 can be received.
- the connectorized end 40a can be stored at a fixed location within the distribution terminal 100 so that mounting the splitter 130 to the terminal 100 causes the connectorized end 40a to enter the adapter.
