A device for storing and handling optical fibers, namely a cable sleeve, includes a frame and a plurality of splice cases arranged one above the other on a front side of the frame and on a rear side of the frame and pivotally fastened to the frame. Fiber guide elements are mounted on at least one narrow side of the frame for guiding optical fibers laterally next to the splice cases. A drawer disposed between the splice cases and configured to be drawn out from a vertically running narrow side of the frame stores uncut multifiber buffer tubes containing optical fibers. Guide channels are disposed inside the splice cases such that the optical fibers are guided within the splice cases in a circular manner with approximately the same radii, irrespective of their individual lenths.
