Abstract
Rotary mechanical splices between axially aligned optic fibers are seated in axial confinement within bays indented into the shock absorbing body of a holding tray. A retention lid, positioned on the tray covers the splice seating bays and guide slots extending therefrom within which the optic fibers are received to provide cushioned confinement for the splices and resist relative bending of the fibers.
