  • Patent number: 6330389
    Abstract: A fiber storage system includes one or more splice holder assemblies and one or more fiber routing devices. The splice holder assembly has a sleeve in the shape of a closed figure having a plurality of substantially flat sides or a ring. The sleeve has a plurality of holes on its sides. At least one splice holder is mounted on the side walls of the sleeve, near one or more of the holes. The fiber routing device includes a sleeve in the shape of a closed figure having a plurality of substantially flat sides or a ring, and a plurality of troughs attached to an outer surface of the top portion of the sleeve. The splice holder assemblies may be stacked on top of each other, or on top of the fiber routing devices. The fiber routing devices may be stacked on top of each other, or on top of the splice holder assemblies. The stack of splice holder assemblies and fiber routing devices form a pedestal for routing and terminating optical fibers.
