ABSTRACT:
A mass splice tray for holding a plurality of optical fiber splices, such as mechanical or fusion type splices for optical fiber ribbons, has a floor and front and rear and end walls defining an interior of the tray. A support shelf extends from the rear wall into the interior, spaced from the floor, for supporting splice holders above the floor at one side of the tray. Extensions on the end walls define, with the rear wall, channels for routing fiber, especially ribbon fibers, into and out of the tray. Splice holder inserts have locating means thereon for mating with locating means in the rear wall to position the inserts on the support shelf, and splice holders are dimensioned to fit within the inserts. The elevation of the splice holders permits routing slack fibers or ribbons within the interior of the tray without interference from the splice holders. Protective tabs extend from the top edges of the walls to maintain the fibers or ribbons within the tray.
