Abstract
An optical fiber splice tube holder includes a plurality of torsion bars and cantilever bars which provide a resilient retaining force for an optical fiber splice container to be retained therein. The use of torsion bars helps distribute stress generated by a spring force of the fiber splice member holder about a large amount of material so as to achieve an efficient spring construction so that a plurality of splice holders can be accommodated in a reduced space on a fiber storage tray.
