A fiber optic splice organizer stores optical fiber splices and sufficient
slack to permit the fibers to be readily separated, such as for
reorganization or to remake a splice. Multiple hinges connect a plurality
of fiber trays side by side to provide pivotable connections between
trays. A flat orientation of the trays enables splicing and coiling of
fibers as they are loaded into a tray. The trays then pivot into a fiber
storage position. Special features of the hinges provide support for
fibers and splices as they are loaded into the trays. The hinges protect
the fibers as the trays are pivoted as well as when the trays are in
their folded position for storage without requiring buffer tubes.
Multiple architectures for the organization of fibers are enabled without
violating minimal bend radii, and while providing for ease of separation
of individual fibers or groups of fibers.
