Abstract
A splice tray may include a tray base including a base panel and flange associated with a perimeter of the base panel and extending outward from the base panel. The splice tray may also include a flexible latch extending from an outer surface of the flange of the tray base. The latch may selectively prevent and allow the splice tray to pivot with respect to a splice tray assembly in which the splice tray is received. The splice tray may also include a splice holder configured to hold a plurality of spliced optical fibers. The splice holder may include a holder base coupled to the tray base, and a plurality of ribs associated with the holder base and defining a plurality of recesses configured to receive at least one spliced optical fiber. The splice tray may also include a cover removably coupled to the tray base and/or splice holder.
