Abstract
A housing is provided for a connection between optical fibers located in line groups (trunking or the like) in a building and one or more items of equipment. The housing is molded of plastic material and includes first and second housing members which are connectable. The first housing member is mountable on a wall or the like in the building so that it can receive optical fibers from the trunking and having formations which define a path for the fibers. The second housing member is pivotably mounted on the first member and has a shell. The shell has formations which define a path which can receive the fibers from the first housing member and along which the fibers can be guided to a splice region. The housing member has further formations which define paths for fibers extending from the splice region to one or more outlets.
