  • Patent number: 6009225
    Abstract: A fiber optic splice closure includes at least one first splice organizer tray having one end pivotally connected to a base and extending in a medial portion of a housing; a mounting member pivotally connected to the base adjacent the at least one first splice organizer tray; and at least one second splice organizer tray pivotally connected to the mounting member on a side thereof opposite the at least one first splice organizer tray. The splice closure also preferably includes a slack storage tray connected to the base and positioned in the housing adjacent a side of the at least one first splice tray that is opposite the mounting member. The splice closure thus provides a compact, yet flexible, closure facilitating drops to a fiber optic ring network. The at least one first splice organizer tray is preferably pivotal about a first axis, and the at least one second splice organizer tray is also preferably pivotal about a second axis generally parallel to the first axis.
