Abstract

The invention relates to a management-capable splice cassette for the telecommunication and data technique, for receiving carrier shells for two glass fibers each. A housing is provided with a cable connection device and a carrier is connected to said housing. The carrier shells are connected to the carrier in a rotatable manner. The management-capable splice cassette is exchangeable with other splice cassettes and can in particular be inserted in prior art splice cassette housings instead of the conventional splice cassettes. The invention provides an available reserve length and a small constructional height as well as an economical and simple handling. The carrier shells are disposed in at least two adjacent receiving portions and stacked upon each other, each of carrier shells is rotatably supported into a latch position at one of their sides.
