Abstract: A system for terminating one or more optical fibers comprises a fiber optic connector, a connector holder, and an installation tool. The fiber optic connector has a ferrule and a connector housing in which the ferrule is at least partially positioned. The connector holder receives at least a portion of the connector housing and has a base portion that defines a bottom surface of the connector holder. The installation tool includes a body with a connector holding area configured to receive and cooperate with the base portion of the connector holder to securely position the fiber optic connector on the body.

Abstract: A fiber management frame for a fiber optic closure having a removable tray holder configured to mount a fiber optic tray offset from a fiber management interface. The tray holder has optical fibers mounted thereon and can be mounted and/or removed from the fiber management interface without interfering with optical fibers mounted on the fiber management interface. The fiber management interface defines a first slack storage area for a first group of optical fibers. The removable tray holder defines a second slack storage area for a second group of optical fibers offset from the fiber management interface. The fiber optic tray can be mounted to or removed from the fiber management interface without interfering with the first group of optical fibers.
