  • Patent number: 6275640
    Abstract: A fiber optic splice closure includes a housing, a support within the housing, at least one splice organizer pivotally connected to the support, and a slack storage holder pivotally connected to the support. The support may be connected to an interior of a first housing portion adjacent end thereof. The support preferably includes portions defining a plurality of pivotal mounting locations. The slack storage holder is pivotally connected at a first pivotal mounting location of the support and is pivotally movable between a stored position and a raised position. The slack storage holder when in the stored position is preferably generally parallel to and in spaced apart relation from adjacent interior portions of the first housing portion. Accordingly, the slack storage holder thus preferably defines a fiber routing area with adjacent housing portions. The slack storage holder can be moved to the raised position facilitating access to the fiber routing area.
