ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber storage system is provided for use in an equipment rack containing at least one removable optical interface card. The storage system includes a holder for holding a length of optical fiber for connection to the optical interface card. The holder is mounted for movement between a closed position in which access to the optical fiber is prevented, and an open position allowing access to the optical fiber. An actuating device, which may comprise a portion of the optical interface card itself, is provided for causing the holder to move from the closed position to the open position upon withdrawal of the optical interface card.
