Abstract: An optic fibre splice tray is provided with reels (3, 4) which can be moved towards and away from the outer walls (132, 133) of optic fibre compartments (1A, 1B) in order to hold the coiled optic fibres closely in position. This prevents kinks developing which could lead to light losses. Also, slots (58, 59, 60 and 61) are provided in the wall portions (56, 57) to enable an optic fibre (F1) to be conducted from one compartment to another and then to be joined (X) to another fibre (F2) which approaches the splice tray from the same direction. Unecessary bending of the optic fibres is again thereby avoided. A splice protector housing (44) is releasably attached to the lid (2) of the splice tray and removable link members (28, 29) are also provided which fit into apertures (34, 35, 36 and 37) of adjacent trays in a stack to enable the splice trays to be stacked without risk of breakage of an integral portion of any splice tray.
