The apparatus includes a housing having a plurality of trays swingable from a storage position inside the housing to an access position in front of the housing. Each tray includes a spool for holding excess fiber from the trunk cable and a spool for holding fiber from a pigtail cable. In addition, various routing paths are provided to include a path for holding excess fiber from a distribution cable of a pigtail cable leading to a distribution cable. Connections between the fiber of the trunk cable and the pigtain cable and between the pigtail cable and the jumper leading to the distribution cable are attached to the tray and readily movable between the storage and access position.
