Abstract
A apparatus and method are provided to provide a readily rearrangeable interconnection point between two fiber cables. A panel has a series of trays for holding joined fiber pairs. One of the cables is fanned out in equal length fanout tubes and fiber guides are located such that any fanout tube can be routed with its slack managed to any tray in the series of trays. As such, rearrangement of the fanout tubes along the series of trays is readily achieved. The complements of the other cable are routed to the other side of the trays. Inside the trays, the individual fibers are routed to joint holders. The trays are pivotally attached to the panel and hang at a downward angle. The trays are pivotable upward to allow access to lower trays. Opposed fibers are joined and the resulting joint is stored in the trays.
