Abstract
A panel-mountable fiber optic splice is provided for interconnecting first and second optical fibers through an opening in a panel, bulkhead, wall or the like. The optical fiber splice includes a housing configured to be inserted into the opening in the panel, a splice holder disposed within an internal passageway defined by the housing, first and second splice members disposed within an internal cavity defined by the splice holder, and a cam member disposed about the splice holder for actuating the first and second splice members between a first, unactuated position for inserting the first and second optical fibers between the splice members and a second, actuated position for securing the first and second optical fibers between the splice members.
