Abstract
The organizer of the invention is of the type having superposable cassettes pivotally mounted in a support housing them, each cassette having a flexible carrier arm for conveying fibers to an inlet passage of the cassette while simultaneously securing the cassette to the support, the arm being suitable for being folded both down against and away from the cassette so as to enable the cassette to pivot relative to the support. Advantageously, a fiber fan-out assembly is mounted on the outside of the support and has outlets staged along a fixing axis for the pivot arms of the various cassettes of the support.
