Abstract
A splice tray for accommodating optical fibers comprises a body with a plurality of splice holders at fixed locations thereon, the body having fiber access points at which fiber can enter and leave the body. Fiber paths are provided on the body leading from the access points to and from each splice holder, and each holder is adapted to receive and hold a splice reinforcer within which a fiber splice is present. The length of fiber is accommodated on either side of the splice. An adapter is used with a clip-on power meter to take readings of the transmissivity of fibers stored on storage leaves mounted on the tray body.
