ABSTRACT:
A splice organizing tray can protect the optical fibers from excessive stress if the fibers stored in the tray are organized in paths which do not require bending of the fibers beyond their approved bend radius, which do not require the fibers to cross, and which maintain the fibers in contact with the support substantially all the time. The tray has a convex bottom wall to urge the fibers against the edges of the tray, a recessed splice support area, and resilient snaps to engage the ends of the splices to permit the splices to be placed closer together. Holes below the splices afford the removal of the splices without danger to the adjacent fibers.
