Abstract
An optical splitter module () can be carried on a cover () of an enclosure () between a contoured surface () and a row of optical adapters (). Output pigtails () from the splitter module () are routed to the optical adapters (). In certain examples, a significantly longer input fiber () is routed from the splitter module () to a splice region () at a base () of the enclosure (). Certain types of splitter modules () are mounted to the cover () at an angle relative to an insertion axis for a feeder cable (). A certain type of splitter module () curves about a minor axis (A) so that one major surface () has a concave curvature and another major surface () has a convex curvature.
