Abstract
An optical fiber interconnect and canister closure assembly is provided for interconnecting optical fiber cables in a canister closure. The assembly comprises a canister and end cap that closes over one end of the canister. Extending from the end cap to be received in the canister is a longitudinal interconnect assembly that comprises a longitudinal adapter mount. A plurality of adapters are mounted along the adapter mount in a row. The assembly is further provided with fiber management guides along a portion of the interconnect assembly that allow any pigtail of a set of equal length pigtails to be interconnected to any adapter mounted on the adapter mount.
