Abstract

A splice site carrier includes an interconnecting member and a plurality of generally planar carrier members that are pivotally interconnected therewith. The carrier members are configured to receive a splice tray mounted on a front side thereof. Each of the carrier members is pivotable about a respective pivot axis between an access position, in which the front side of the carrier member faces in a first direction, such that the splice tray is presented for access to splice sites thereon, and a non-access position that is at least partially inverted from the access position, in which a rear side of the carrier member is presented and the splice tray is not accessible.
