Abstract:
An optical fiber organizer comprising:flat superposable cassettes for stowing fibers and for holding splices, each cassette having a fiber inlet passage;a support for housing said cassettes, the support having a zone for distributing said fibers towards said cassettes housed therein; andflexible carrier arms each having a fiber retention and protection path, each arm connecting the inlet passage of one of said cassettes to the fiber distribution zone of said support, serving to hold the cassette in a plane, and being foldable down against said cassette and unfoldable away therefrom so as to enable said cassette to pivot in said plane and relative to said support between a closed position and an open position, thereby simultaneously defining a path of constant length for guiding fibers between said fiber distribution zone and said cassette whether placed in either of said open and closed positions.
