Abstract
An arrangement for storing e.g. optical fibers and/or optical fiber splices within a splice closure comprises a generally circular tray (1) or preferably a plurality of such trays (1) in a stack, the tray or trays being mounted at an angle inclined to the longitudinal axis of the splice closure. The trays are supported on respective fingers (12) which can be flexed to pivot themselves and their trays away from a tray which it is desired to remove, so that the desired tray can be slipped out of the stack.
