Abstract:
1. A modular optical fiber cassette comprising: a base housing configured to receive additional nested components; an adapter plate resiliently connected by a number of fasteners to a number of flanges of the housing and comprising a plurality of optical fiber connectors, the adapter plate being releasable from the housing and providing access to both sides of the adapter plate; a radius limiter nested with and resiliently connected to the base housing; a splice tray nested with and resiliently connected to the base housing, the splice tray comprising a plurality of splice channels and at least one fiber nest that provides storage of coiled optical fiber, wherein the splice tray is supported in the base housing atop the radius limiter by at least one boss extending from the base housing through the radius limiter, and by at least one stand-off extending from the base housing not through the radius limiter, the at least one boss and at least one stand-off defining a plane upon which the splice tray rests; a first expansion housing having an exterior contour substantially aligned with the base housing and configured to resiliently interlock with the base housing; and a cover resiliently connected to the first expansion housing.
