A fiber distribution system includes a fiber distribution terminal, an assembly separate from the fiber distribution terminal, a third fiber optic cable, and an end-user fiber optic device. The fiber distribution terminal includes a first fiber optic cable, a first rotatable spool storing a portion of the first fiber optic cable, and a first adapter optically coupled to the first fiber optic cable. The assembly includes a second rotatable spool storing a second fiber optic cable optically coupled to the first adapter, and a second adapter optically coupled to the second fiber optic cable. The third fiber optic cable is optically coupled to the second adapter. The end-user fiber optic device is optically coupled to the third fiber optic cable.
