Abstract
An optical fiber organizer for protecting and storing optical fibers includes a housing having a first level separated from a second level. A first fiber port is provided on the first level and a second fiber port is provided on the second level. Eccentric fiber channels are provided on the first level. Each channel has a passage for communicating fiber with an adjacent channel. The outermost one of the channels includes a passage for communicating fiber with the first fiber port on the first level. The innermost one of the channels includes a passage for communicating fiber to the second fiber port on the second level. A transition channel between the innermost and outermost channels provides an optical fiber splice device.
