Abstract:
A splice holder for accommodating fiber optic splices, said splice holder comprising:a base having an upper surface which biaxially extends both in a longitudinal direction and in a transverse direction;a first splice holder element extending upwardly from said upper surface of said base, said first splice holder element defining a primary channel formed to receive and hold a first splice in the longitudinal direction such that the center of the first splice is located at a first distance from said upper surface of said base; and,a second splice holder element extending upwardly from said upper surface of said base, said second splice holder element being transversely spaced from said first splice holder element, said first splice holder element and said second splice holder element cooperatively defining a secondary channel therebetween formed to receive and hold a second splice in the longitudinal direction such that the center of the second splice is located at a second distance from said upper surface of said base, said first distance being greater than said second distance.
