ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic splice storage apparatus includes a central segment defining a splice chamber configured to receive a plurality of fiber optic splices, a first slack fiber storage segment pivotally connected to a first end of the central segment and having an open position extending from the first end away from the central segment and a closed position extending over the central segment, and a second slack fiber storage segment pivotally connected to a second end of the central segment, opposite the first end, the second slack fiber storage segment having an open position extending from the second end away from the central segment and a closed position extending over the central segment. A first plurality of slack fiber guide members on the first slack fiber storage segment are configured to receive and retain a loop of optical fibers and a second plurality of slack fiber guide members on the second slack fiber storage segment are configured to receive and retain a loop of optical fibers.
