Abstract

Disclosed is an optical fiber distribution apparatus with slide-out trays including optical connectors and splice trays mounted thereon. Each tray has a hinged protective cover and a front portion which drops down to provide access to the connectors. The splice tray is mounted on a platform elevated from the tray so that fibers coming into the tray can be stored in the gap formed thereby.
