Abstract
A fiber optic connector unit has a housing with a provider port and a customer port. The ports provide access for fiber optic cables. A fiber optic connector panel is mounted inside the housing. The connector panel has apertures for mounting connectors to optically interconnect the fibers of a provider cable with the fibers of a customer cable. A slack holder is mounted in the housing for being wrapped with slack of the provider cable. Curved guide walls are located adjacent to the slack holder and adjacent to the provider and customer sides of the connector panel for guiding fibers without excessively bending them.
