Abstract

A housing for optical components includes a lower housing portion and at least one holder for glass fibers, couplers and splices. It is intended to provide a housing that can flexibly be adjusted and permits accommodation of a larger number of splices. This is achieved by that the holder for splices and couplers is a separate component and can-be snap-fitted onto the bottom of the lower housing portion.
