Abstract

See full text

A fiber optic splice enclosure for housing an interconnection contained in a splice tray between at least one optical fiber of a feeder cable and at least one optical fiber of a drop cable is provided. The optical fiber of the feeder cable is at least partially contained in a feeder cable buffer or transportation tube. The fiber optic splice enclosure includes a support frame arranged in the enclosure. The support frame includes a central office side and a drop side. A basket is arranged on the support frame for storing slack of a spliced buffer tube transitioning to the splice tray. The spliced storage arrangement is sized so as to be able to store slack of the spliced feeder cable buffer tube while maintaining a predetermined tube bend radius. A splice tray mounting arrangement is arranged on the drop side of the support frame for supporting the splice tray.
