Abstract: A fiber optic termination assembly (10) includes a chassis (12) which holds a plurality of pivotally mounted trays (14) in a stacked array. The trays (14) and chassis (12) allow selective access to each tray (14) as desired by pivoting a selected tray (12) relative to the chassis (12). The tray (14) includes a base part (40) and a detachable part (42). The base part (40) remains with the chassis (12), and the detachable part (42) is separable from the base part (40). The base part (40) cooperates with the detachable part (42) to form a cable storage area (74) for storing one or more loops of fiber optic cables. The detachable part (42) includes a termination panel (110) for holding a plurality of adapters (112) wherein the adapters allow for mating of two connectors (114) for fiber optic signal transmission. The detachable part (42) may also include a cable storage area and/or a cable splice area.
