An enclosure includes a housing defining an internal splicing area and at
least one port at least one port configured for passage of at least one
telecommunications cable into the enclosure. The enclosure protects the
optical fibers, optical fiber splices and optical devices contained
therein. A support basket is disposed in the splicing area and extends
longitudinally within the housing. The support basket is shaped to
substantially conform to a portion of the circumferential shape of the
splicing area. A repositionable, removable support platform is disposed
on the support basket in a first orientation for storage and disposed in
a second orientation for installation and maintenance of the fiber optic
splices and optical devices housed in the enclosure. The optical fiber
splices and optical devices are disposed in a splice tray which is
adjacent to the support platform. Additionally, the support basket
includes a multilayer slack storage compartment.
