1. Method for configuring a FTTH distribution network cell characterized by comprising the following steps:
i. Connecting ODPs, configured to attend NPC-ODF number of customers, to splitters of a OSJ module having the same split ratio, by means of fibre optical cables;
ii. Assign a number of optical fibres, NOF, to each ODP, is as follows:
NOF=(NPC-ODP×% of target Penetration Rate)+NRF
Where NRF is the number of reserved optical fibres for an ODP;
iii. For each optical fibre cable terminated at the output side of the OSJ module:
allocate fibres with the lowest numbers—nearest to the fibre optic cable's central strength member to the farthest ODP relative to the OSJ module; and
allocate fibres with the highest numbers—closest to the fibre optic cable's jacket-to the nearest ODP.
