Abstract
An optical fiber splice closure (10) to protect splice connectors which secure optical fibers (18-19) together which includes top and bottom housing segments (20 and 50) which contain a body of sealant. An organizer tray (70) having guide surfaces (75) facilitates forming a loop in optical fibers (18 and 19) such that the loop has a minimum radius of at least two inches to minimize transmission losses. Flowable sealant in the housing segments has a volume greater than the volume of the closure so that sealant flows to form a waterproof seal against ingress of moisture into the closure.
