ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for storing the spliced end sections of optical fibers comprises a tray having a first and second series of channels each for receiving an optical fiber, the first series being spaced from the second series by a gap, a splice block releasably mounted in the gap, the splice block also having a series of channels that substantially span the gap whereby the respective channels of the first series are connected to the corresponding channels of the second series by the channels in the splice block. A tray is used for each group of fibers (one group from each cable) spliced together respectively to connect the cables together. The optical fibers from a first cable are spliced to the corresponding optical fibers in a second cable, the splices being mounted on the splice block. The tray constitutes a means for storing the buffer tubing that is wound up on the tray. A receptacle is provided with a plurality of tray mounting cavities for storage and individual retrieval of each of the trays.
