A splice enclosure that may include a body portion, a lower portion, an adapter portion, and a splice portion. The adapter portion may be configured to pivot relative to the body portion between a first adapter portion position and a second adapter portion position. The splice portion may be configured to pivot relative to the body portion between a first splice portion position and a second splice portion position. The adapter portion may configured to be disposed between the splice portion and the lower portion when the splice portion is in the first splice portion position and the adapter portion is in the first adapter portion position such that the splice portion is configured to block access to the adapter portion The splice portion also may be configured to permit access to the adapter portion when the splice portion is pivoted to the second splice portion position such that the adapter portion is configured to be selectively pivoted to the second adapter portion position so as to provide improved access to an adapter that is configured to be coupled with the adapter portion.

An adapter configured to permit a heat shrink splice holder portion of a fiber splice cassette to hold a mechanical crimp splice protector includes a base portion and a holding portion configured to extend from the base portion The holding portion may be configured to hold a first splice protector, and the base portion may be configured to include a receiving feature that may be configured to couple the adapter with a fiber splice cassette. The receiving feature may be configured to couple the adapter with a splice protector holder portion of a fiber splice cassette that is unable to hold the first splice protector so as to convert the splice protector holder portion to a splice protector holder portion that may be configured to hold the first splice protector.

A cable management panel for optimizing management and storage of a slack portion of a fiber optic cable includes a base portion and a cable support portion that is configured to extend from the base portion. The cable support includes a curved portion configured to prevent a fiber optic cable that is wrapped around the curved portion from being bent beyond a minimum bend radius. The cable support is configured to provide a path structure for optimizing management and storage of different lengths of slack of fiber optic cables such that a selected path length from an end of the base portion to the curved portion of the cable support and back to the end of the base portion substantially matches a length of slack of a fiber optic cable such that the length of slack is maintained within the height of the base so as to eliminate the need for slack cable management structures in space about a rack to which the panel is mounted.
