Patent ID: 8554044

Claim:
A splice tray arrangement comprising: a first splice tray including at least a first splice region at which a first fiber can be spliced to a second fiber and a fiber management structure configured to receive excess fiber length of the first and second fibers; a second splice tray pivotally mounted to the first splice tray, the second splice tray being configured to pivot from a closed position, in which the second splice tray inhibits access to the first splice tray, to an open position, in which the second splice tray allows access to the first splice tray, the second splice tray including at least a first splice region at which a third fiber can be spliced to a fourth fiber and a fiber management structure configured to receive excess fiber length of the third and fourth fibers; and a coupling arrangement including at least a first magnet mounted to the fiber management structure of the first splice tray, the coupling arrangement being configured to releasably secure the second splice tray to the first splice tray in the closed position.
