Abstract
The present invention embraces an optical transition box for housing the connection between a riser cable and a drop cable of an optical access network. The box has a base, which itself typically includes: a bottom for housing the excess lengths of the optical fibers of the riser cable and of the drop cable, a first sidewall and a splice-holder element for housing the splices between the optical fibers. Typically, the splice-holder element is fixed to the first sidewall and overhangs above the bottom. A distance not less than the diameter of an optical fiber is typically provided between the bottom and the splice-holder element.
