Abstract
A splice organizer for optical cable splices within a splice closure assembly having end walls, supporting bars joining the end walls and bridging between the space therebetween, corresponding optical conductors of optical communications cables projecting into the splice closure space, optical connector bodies terminated to corresponding optical conductors, and optical splices formed by pairs of the optical connector bodies in axial alignment, to transmit optical signals between corresponding optical conductors terminated to the optical connector bodies in axial alignment, a series of receptacles for the corresponding pairs of optical conductors. Each of the individual splice organizers cooperates with an adjacent splice organizer, and the last one with an end plate, to provide an individual receptacle for holding therein the optical splice and loosely coiled lengths of corresponding optical conductors. Individual splice organizers, of a plurality of cooperating splice organizers, are clamped by clamp bars onto the supporting bars to form the splice closure assembly.
