A fiber optic housing including a base and a cover pivotally to the base. A first guide is provided through which a fiber optic cable enters the housing, along with a second guide through which the fiber optic cable exits the housing. The cover is moveable between an open and closed position, such that the cover forms a horizontally extending tray when in the open position. A splice tray mounting portion is provided within the housing with at least one splice tray. The closure is configured such that a loop of slack buffer tubes is wound around an inner circumferential area of the housing.
