  • Publication number: 20250164731
    Abstract: A fiber optic splice organizer includes a mounting bracket, and at least one tray attached to the mounting bracket. The tray has a first length and an interior volume for storing fiber optic splices. A modular extension is attachable to the tray to increase the tray length and capacity. And interlocking arrangement including dovetails connects the modular extension to the tray. A cover over the modular extension can include a Sperry screw, alignment posts, and epoxy openings. The cover can include a curved shape over the fiberoptic adapters.
