Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An organizer ( 100 ) for fiber cable management comprises a generally planar base ( 105 ) having a splitter holding section ( 110 ), a slack and unterminated fiber storage section ( 120 ), and a splice and splice tray holding section ( 150 ). The splitter holding section ( 110 ) is configured to optionally hold one or more fiber splitters. The slack and unterminated fiber storage section includes a slack storage region ( 130 ) having a plurality of fiber routing structures ( 146 a, 146 b ) to support and retain slack fiber and an unterminated fiber storage region having one or more spool type structures ( 142 ) to support and retain unterminated fiber separate from the slack fiber. The splice and splice tray holding section is configured to optionally hold one of a first fiber splice insert ( 160 ) and a splice tray holder ( 170 ) configured to engage one or more splice trays. A distribution box ( 200 ) for distributing optical fibers for communications includes a base, a cover, and the organizer described above.
