  • Patent number: 6424782
    Abstract: A method of routing optical fiber ribbons within a fiber optic splice closure is disclosed. A plurality of optical fiber ribbons are exposed for a splicing operation. The optical fiber ribbons are stacked in a sequential arrangement within a fiber optic feed tube positioned within a fiber optic splice closure. A ribbon organizer is installed over the optical fiber ribbons at an opening of the fiber optic feed tube. The interior dimensions of the ribbon organizer substantially match the size and shape of the plurality of optical fiber ribbons. The original stacked, sequential arrangement of the optical fiber ribbons are re-established by sliding the ribbon organizer down along the length of the optical fiber ribbons, thereby orienting the optical fiber ribbons into their original positions as they are within the fiber optic feed tube.
